"The Partnership Programme to Support Forestry and Fishery Communities (PaFF) started in November 2014, implemented by four NGOs: CEPA, NTFP-EP, RECOFTC and WWF. The first phase (PaFF I) was implemented in two provinces (Kratie and Stung Treng) and ended in June 2017. The second phase (PaFF II) runs from 01/07/2017 until 30/06/2021 and expands to Kampong Thom and Preah Vihear provinces. Working with Government, private sector, civil society, and rural communities, PaFF’ s contribution to improving stakeholders’ implementation capacity, knowledge, and participation in development processes at national and local level will empower rural households to claim and secure their access to natural resources, as well as strengthen sustainable NRM and thus improve their income and livelihood resilience. The overall goal of the PaFF is stated as: ""Rural and indigenous communities and households increase their incomes and improve their resilience to economic and natural shocks by engaging in sustainable community-based livelihood approaches that protect their ecosystems and reduce pressure on their communal natural resource base"". There are three outcome that contribute to the overall goal, 1) Target communities have secure rights to their natural resources and are exercising them; 2) Households in target communities increase their income through sustainable community-based forest and fisheries related enterprises and strategies, and 3) National and local enabling policy conditions support secure community rights over natural resources and the development of sustainable community-based enterprises. PAFF 2 had an “extensive” Mid Term Review (MTR) with field surveys in October and November 2019 and produced a report in December 2019. SDC: Recommendation was provided, and PaFF management response has been discussed and followed up. The overall aim of the evaluation of the second phase of PAFF 2 was “to learn from the intervention so that a more powerful final phase can be developed”. As such, the Phase 2 final evaluation aims to identify key program achievement, impact, challenges, lessons learned and best practices to inform the design and development of phase 3. Evaluation criteria included: relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability, considering cross-cutting issues (gender equality, climate change, Disaster Risk Reduction -DRR). The evaluation has led to the production of 39 findings in relation to the standard OECD DAC evaluation entities. The standard approach was augmented using appreciative inquiry . This led to the following findings that are of central importance to the design of Phase 3. The evalulation concluded that: The evaluation presents 39 findings in relation to the standard OECD DAC evaluation entities. It states that PAFF is unique in Cambodia and if (1) PAFF 2 design problems identified by this evaluation team are sorted out; (2) the management team is augmented by a new director post, and technical assistance; and (3) it is equipped to turn from being a “mother” to many initiatives and organisations to letting her “children” thrive by enabling them to learn from their own mistakes, it should be supported until 2023 so that it can build on the follow-ing positive and possibly unique attributes and achievements: 1. A catalogue of data and auspicious mistakes related to the development of commu-nity based natural resources management. 2. An incredible amount of social capital in terms of friends, community champions and advisors 3. The ability to produce good communication materials such as newsletters that ap-preciate the work of its champions. 4. Community natural resources management groups that are at a stage where they could be made more powerful by federation and self-governance. The final evaluation concluded the PaFF has achieved the agreed outputs. Policy relevance is high, but the relevance to the poorest in the communities is questionable. The wide geo-graphical distribution of communities and high number of citizens involve is useful for rights-based approach. There should be more effort to show the impact due to its limitation on M&E design. Some missed opportunities for improvements were high-lighted in particular for theory of change, impact indicators and log-frame, sustainability, effectiveness and effi-ciency, management, and MEL. Therefore, the final phase of PaFF should strengthen the MEL and carefully design with stronger impact indicator, sustainability, and more effective management structure. Out of the 20 recommendations, 6 are ‘fully agreed’, 12 are ‘partially agreed’ and 2 are not agreed `disagree’. SDC agrees to seize this opportunity to improve its results by taking specific measures in line with the recommendation with an overview of the recommendations, management response and mearsure from SDC in addition to the PaFF Management Response."
