Evaluation of Natural Resource Management Project - Phase II
Funding source: USAID

The evaluation scope of work called for a comprehensive external review of the
CAMPFIRE Programme and documentation of USAID support to it. The program
is complex, and its implementation involved a partnership of government agencies
and non-governmental organizations that assist rural communities and community-
based organizations. The evaluation team provided the following services:

• Assessed the project's responsiveness to the findings and recommendations
  of the last project evaluation;
• Documented USAID-funded contributions to Zimbabwe's Communal Areas
  Management Programme for Indigenous Resources (CAMPFIRE);
• Assessed the performance of each of the implementing partners in fulfilling
  their respective roles and impacts achieved to date from this assistance;
• Addressed certain key policy, planning, management and implementation
  issues; and
• Recommended revised implementation approaches and arrangements for
  improving the project's achievement and impacts and the prospects for the
  long-term sustainability of CAMPFIRE initiatives.
