Monitoring

The evaluation of the 2012 World Conservation Congress (Congress) asked whether the Congress can be made more relevant, effective and efficient. This evaluation has been an internal exercise, undertaken by IUCN’s Secretariat Planning, Monitoring and Evaluation (PM&E) Unit between September 2012 and March 2013. While the 2012 Congress Participants’ Survey showed that the Congress was highly appreciated by the participants, a number of suggestions for improvements were made.

An essential element in the development, and monitoring, of resource management plans is the information provided by fisheries data collected across the three districts. The data collection protocol has been adapted since the Programme’s inception in 1994 and the most significant modification took place in January 2002. A more detailed analysis of the fisheries data was required in order to better determine the effect of the management plans and their associated activities.
