In a 6-point scale, the TE rated the project’s outcome effectiveness as â€Å"Satisfactory†. The TE only briefly summarized the project results at the EOP (End of Project) without comparing them with expected outcomes. In the same scale, this TER will rate the project’s outcome as â€Å"Moderately Satisfactory† based on the evidence presented by the Final PIR (PIR 2014), which shows that some progress has been made for reaching all of the project targets, but majority of targets were not achieved 100%. A comparison of the project’s achievements against the targets of its indicators is presented below: (PIR 2014, p.4-53) The project’s Immediate Objectives are: (i) To conserve the biodiversity of endemic ruminant livestock and improve their productivity (AfDB) (ii) To establish effective models for community-based management of endemic ruminant livestock and its habitats at project sites, and strengthen production, market, and policy environment in support of theses breeds (GEF) There are 7 indicators under the project immediate objectives. By the EOP all of the indicators partly reached or were on the track for fully reaching their targets. Indicator 1 was the levels of household food security as measured by a household dietary diversity score (HDDS). The target was at least 20% increase by project end from baseline levels. The target was 50% achieved. According to statistics available by the EOP: the level for Gambia declined around 30%; the level for Mali increased 24.3%; the
