Final Evaluation
The project objectives were to promote the conservation, sustainable use and cultivation of endangered medicinal plants in Zimbabwe, by demonstrating effective models at the local level, and developing a legal framework for the conservation, sustainable use, and equitable shari...ng of benefits from medicinal plants at the national level. After one year of implementation, the project rationale, indicators and targets were reviewed in order to make them more rigorous as per the new GEF focus on project impact. New indicators and targets were developed in December 2004. The project is composed of five closely linked output areas that have been allocated to different implementing partners to take a lead in. These include the National Herbarium and Botanical Gardens (Output 1), the University of Zimbabwe School of Pharmacy (Output 2), the Southern Alliance for Indigenous Resources (SAFIRE), a regional NGO (Output 2 and 4), and the Attorney General‟s Office (Output 5).

Pour une intervention efficace et efficiente de lutte anti-vectorielle, il est nécessaire de disposer au préalable des informations sur l’écologie, le comportement et la dynamique des populations de vecteurs locaux. Après interventions, il est fondamental d'évaluer l'effet des opérations et... aussi de pouvoir détecter ou prédire les fluctuations inhabituelles des tendances qui peuvent avoir des conséquences significatives sur la maladie.
Pour cette raison, des scientifiques d'institutions de recherche, des programmes nationaux de lutte contre le paludisme et de l'OMS se sont réunis en Juin 2008, à Libreville (Gabon) pour élaborer le premier projet de document intitulé «procédures opérationnelles standardisées (SOP) pour la surveillance des vecteurs dans le cadre de la surveillance intégrée des maladies et la gestion intégrée des vecteurs ». Le Projet de document a été finalisé par deux consultants et envoyé aux 7 pays pilotes pour être testé sur le terrain.
