DESCRIPTION:

The Medium-size Project on the "Development and Implementation of Public-Private Partnerships in Environmental Investments" (MSP-PPP) sought to build confidence and capabilities in public-private sector partnerships as a viable means of financing and sustaining environmental facilities and services for pollution prevention and sustainable use of the marine and coastal resources of the East Asian Seas region. To ensure that both short-term and long-term targets and objectives are met, the MSP-PPP was strategically built within the larger framework for integrated coastal management (ICM). The MSP-PPP was initiated in 2004 and completed in 2009. The project was funded by the Global Environment Facility (GEF), implemented by the United Nations Development Programme, and executed by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) through the Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA). This terminal evaluation was commissioned to assess the overall performance, results, effectiveness, and impact of the project, draw lessons from the experiences in different sites, assess the sustainability of results achieved, and identify ways to further enhance future PPP initiatives. The evaluation is in accordance with the GEF Guidelines on conducting terminal evaluations. The evaluation entailed a combination of processes including desk review and assessment of technical and monitoring reports and other studies completed under the project, as well as a visit to one of the PPP project sites – Puerto Galera, Mindoro Oriental, Philippines, wherein interviews with the project implementers from both the public and private sectors were undertaken.
