Terminal Evaluation of UN Environment Project: Capacity Building for the Early Entry Into Force of the Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing

The project “Capacity Building for the early entry into force of the Protocol on Access and Benefit Sharing” was a Global Environment Facility (GEF) medium-sized project (MSP) with a global scope. The project’s purpose was to encourage 50 Global Environment Facility-eligible Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) to ratify the Nagoya Protocol on Access to Genetic Resources and the Fair and Equitable Sharing of Benefits Arising from their Utilization. The project was implemented 2011-2014. This terminal evaluation has two primary purposes: 1) to provide evidence of results to meet accountability requirements, and 2) to promote learning, feedback, and knowledge sharing through results and lessons learned among the United Nations Environment Programme (UN Environment), the GEF and their executing partners.
