Fostering the development of “green” exports through Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) in Asia and the Pacific (Development Account Project 1617AI)
Overview
This independent final project evaluation covers the UNCTAD project "Fostering the development of “green” exports through Voluntary Sustainability Standards (VSS) in Asia and Pacific" funded by the United Nations Development Account (UNDA; Project Code 1617AI). The project is aimed at strengthening capacities of selected countries in the Asia and Pacific region to make the best use of VSS as a tool to foster the development of green export sectors which contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. It covers three interrelated areas of intervention and corresponding activities, with focus on three countries in the region, namely Lao PDR, the Philippines and Vanuatu. The project was implemented from February 2017 to August 2020 with an approved budget of $520,000. This final evaluation of the project has the following main objectives: (i) assess the degree to which the desired project results have been realized and (ii) identify good practices and lessons learned from the project that could feed into and enhance the implementation of related interventions. The evaluation fulfils accountability purposes and provides and lessons learned to country level project stakeholders, UNCTAD management, the Development Account Programme (Capacity Development Programme Management Office) of the UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), as well as UNCTAD's member States at large. The assessment leads to practical recommendations for different project stakeholders to facilitate decision making with respect to: (i) the way forward beyond the closure of the current project in the focus countries as well as (ii) eventual future projects in this field.Report Details
