Terminal evaluation of the UNEP GEF project: Removing barriers to invasive plant management in Africa (RBIPMA)

This report is a terminal evaluation of a UNEP GEF project implemented between 2005 and 2011. The project's overall development goal was to conserve globally significant ecosystem, species and genetic diversity in Africa by protecting it from the threat of IAS. Its main objective was to reduce and remove barriers to the management of IAS through effective implementation of the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Article 8(h) in the four pilot countries using a multisectoral ecosystem approach. The evaluation set out to assess project performance and determine outcomes and impacts (actual and potential) stemming from the project, including their sustainability.
