This evaluation assessed strategic positioning of the first phase of the FAO-Turkey programme, its results and contributions, sustainability, as well as coherence and catalytic effects. It noted that the programme facilitated a beneficial collaboration between the Turkish Government and regional and international experts. It however found that the absence of a real results-oriented design has led to the lack of programme coherence, with the outputs and outcomes not leading to the goals initially envisaged for the programme. It recommends the application of a much more programmatic and regional approach that would help consolidate efforts towards improved livelihoods and sustainable natural resource management in Central Asia and the Caucasus. It also recommends alignment of the overall programme goals with the Sustainable Development Goals, thereby emphasizing sustainable development and climate resilience.
