Project Duration: Feb-Apr 2012
Project Description: The purpose of the midterm review has been to i) assess the programme performance against the target, and ii) provide a foundation for possible corrective measures for the remaining programme period. The review assesses in particular the progress of the immediate objective of institutionalisation in the following five areas: coordinating institutions, research institutions, education institutions, support service institutions and farmer groups and farmer institutions. The review considers how the IPM programme takes into consideration the challenges related to the ongoing political changes taking place in Nepal, with reference to the needs for a more inclusive society for all Nepalese people and development of stronger local communities. Issues addressed in the 2005 Midterm Review of IPM Phase I, the 2007 Appraisal Report of IPM Phase II, and the 2009 Inception Report have been assessed. The evaluation team consisted of four members: an environment and development specialist, an integrated pest management specialist, an indigenous knowledge and science policy analyst and a governance specialist. The team spent three weeks in Nepal collecting information about the programme in February 2012.
