The development of institutional capacities of the key agencies and institutions in the region that contribute to the integrated sustainable management of the GOM/LME; The establishment of effective ecosystem monitoring systems together with mechanisms for the identification and analysis of problems and issues; Research to increase the understanding of the GOM/LME, its functioning, its natural evolution trends, and the factors which affect it (both biophysical and social, economic and political); The harmonization of policies and legislation relating to activities affecting the GOM/LME; Increased external support for activities to minimize and mitigate the negative impacts of development (petroleum, urbanization, tourism development, resource exploitation) through the promotion of sustainable approaches and the use of tools such as EIA; Measures to improve resource management; The development of national and regional capacities for gathering, processing and spreading environmental information; Measures to protect biological diversity; Clarification of the role of the GOM/LME as a monitoring/early warning site for global climate change. The project carries out these actions through the 5 key following outcomes: Outcome 1: Transboundary issues analyzed and priorities defined Outcome 2: Country agreement on and commitment to regional and national policy, legal and institutional reforms to address the agreed priority transboundary issues Outcome 3: LME-wide ecosystem-based management approaches encouraged and strengthened through the successful implementation of the Pilot Projects Outcome 4: Monitoring and Evaluation System for the Project and the GoM LME established Outcome 5: Effective project coordination 3.3 Were there any changes in the Global Environmental Objectives, Development Objectives, or other activities during implementation? There were no changes to global environmental objectives or development objectives. 4. GEF EO assessment of Outcomes and Sustainability Please refer to the GEF Terminal Evaluation Review Guidelines for detail on the criteria for ratings.
