Terminal Evaluation of the Project: In Situ/On-Farm Conservation and Use of Agricultural Biodiversity (Horticultural Crops and Wild Fruit Species) in Central Asia

The evaluation was set up for two main purposes: (a) to validate evidence of results to meet accountability requirements, and (b) to enhance the project’s learning, feedback, and knowledge sharing within and beyond the project’s actors to the wider agricultural biodiversity community concerned with the conservation and sustainable use of agricultural biodiversity, including UN Environment and GEF. The project was implemented over the period of 2006-2014 in Central Asian countries of Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan. The purpose of the project was to conserve the high diversity of horticultural crops and wild fruit species found in the Central Asian countries.
