ACIAR | UOW | Coalitions for change in sustainable national CBFM programs in the Pacific. Annual technical report: April 2023 to March 2024

The Pathways-2 project is at its mid-point of implementation. As such, this annual report has been compiled in the wake of a comprehensive mid-term review of the project (February 2024). The project was assessed to be on track and in some areas ahead of what is reasonable to expect at this stage. While the diversity in context across the different countries means that national CBFM programs have distinct focus, there is commonality in their alignment to the regional Framework for Action on scaling-up CBFM. Overal, the first half of project implementation can be seen to have had a relatively strong focus on advancing the enabling environment of CBFM, given demand and gaps were largest here. Developing supportive policies, establishing implementation guidance, and building capacity were (and continue to be prime areas of focus). In the second half of the project there naturally will be increased focus on evidencing change and impacts within national CBFM programs; in the three countries and regionally.
