Monitoring And Evaluation

The GMP monitoring plan makes up the final section of the GMP and, in addition to assessing whether the GMP has been successfully implemented, is a key component of adaptive management. A multi-tiered framework of indicators has been developed to enable monitoring and evaluation to be carried out at several different levels: from park purpose (ecological monitoring plan), through threats and programme purposes and objectives (impact monitoring), to actions and activities (implementation monitoring). This draws on best practice elsewhere and is integrated with the GEF Protected Area Systems Project that is commencing in Ethiopia in 2007, by using a WB/WWF Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool.
