ANNEX A: Project Results Framework Project Activity Objectively verifiable Indicators Means of verification Risks and Assumptions Indicator Baseline Target Objective: To preserve biodiversity, ecosystem services, sequester carbon, improve climate resilience and sustain livelihoods through a ridge-to-reef management of priority water catchments in the two main islands of Fiji Fiji R2R Project Work plan being implemented on time and budget. Increasing pressures on natural resources (aggravated by climate change and environmentally invasive species), are resulting in ongoing forest and land degradation in many parts of Fiji, with associated increased soil erosion, flash flooding, chemical and nutrient runoff, water pollution and deterioration of associated riverine, estuarine and marine resources. Identified key interventions, including improved land use planning and catchment management, new and better managed protected terrestrial and marine areas, reforestation, agroforestry, sustainable financing mechanisms for PAs including from donors and market-based sources, progressively implemented in the six priority, representative catchments as per the Fiji R2R Project work plan. By End of Project: All six catchments have catchment management plans which promote more integrated natural resources management and which are being implemented by Government agencies, private sector, NGOs and resource owners and users. catchment management committees successfully operating in at least four catchments (Ba, Labasa, Tuva and Waidina). Project Reports and publications (including annual reporting by PMU of DoE to UNDP). Government and NGO publications and communication materials and publicly accessible website (Comp 4). Mid- and end of project survey of activities and impacts to be conducted by DoE in partnership with Provincial Offices. Pressures on natural resources and the environment will increase due to increases in population and/or increases in consumption. Implementation of field activities such as reforestation and coastal protection will be adversely impacted by extreme climatic events (severe cyclones, flash flooding, ENSO (droughts) and tsunami. Lack of capacity for legal enforcement of environmental and forestry legislation and policies and community-based environmental taboos. The Government of Fiji, UNDP and other NGO partners are able to provide the promised co-financing, or that alternative sources can be identified. Inadequate collaboration among concerned Government agencies and other stakeholders needed to create a national policy and legal environment conducive for REDD+, integrated sustainable natural resources management on iTaukei lands, including protected areas and FLMMAs.
