• Integrating the assessment of tree planting schemes' performance improves outputs • Empowering beneficiaries and delivering socio-economic outputs ensures legitimacy • External factors affect the performance of schemes more than implementation tools • Formalising scheme implementation tools and guidelines improves performance • Good governance practice insights are essential scheme guidelines
Learning Objectives:
identify tree planting scheme performance evaluation mechanism, how legitimacy is achieved in tree planting schemes, the importance of governance mechanisms for schemes, what tree planting schemes need to consider during implementation, how governance mechanisms, legitimacy and scheme outputs are related
Participants will be able to know how to evaluate tree planting schemes' performance, the need to understand why to consider this performance, and how to measure it. The importance of governance mechanisms and how to assess them. Qualitative concepts like governance mechanism and legitimacy can be evaluated quantitatively, and how this can be done. How qualitative concepts and quantitative concepts like ecological and socioeconomic outputs can be used together to assess schemes. The importance of evaluating these concepts and their relevance to real-world schemes.
