What is management effectiveness evaluation?
‘..the assessment of how well a protected area is being managed – primarily the extent to which it is protecting values and achieving goals and objectives’ WCPA Guidelines (2006)
It includes consideration of• design issues• the adequacy and appropriateness of management
systems and processes• and the delivery of protected area objectives including
conservation of values

Why is management effectiveness an issue?
• Protected areas are critical for in-situ conservation• Most protected areas are subject to multiple serious
threats and many are degraded• 1992 review of protected areas found that three of
the five most common threats were management deficiencies rather than direct impacts on resources
• 1992 World Parks Congress identified effective management as one of four major protected area issues of global concern
• Management Effectiveness Evaluation was most popular workshop at 2003 World Parks Congress; 2003 WPC Delegate survey identified inadequate monitoring and evaluation as most serious barriers to effective management after inadequate funding

by recording, observing and talking about the changes we see in the environment and looking for their causes
by encouraging a culture where we look and reflect on our management
by helping us to learn from our mistakes and our successes
Why would we bother?
1. Evaluation can help us manage better

by signalling global and local changes and threats
showcasing management techniques for broader landscape management
![Page 10: Optimising results of protected area management efforts – a capacity building workshop Sportsman’s Arms Hotel, Kenya 27 th Nov – 1st Dec](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f415503460f94c6078d/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
It identifies priorities for actions Helps to show real resource needs
3. Evaluation promotes accountability and transparency The community see how their parks and
forests are managed Baselines can be established for
partnerships, agreements, trusteeships and contracts
2. Evaluation assists in effective resource allocation
![Page 11: Optimising results of protected area management efforts – a capacity building workshop Sportsman’s Arms Hotel, Kenya 27 th Nov – 1st Dec](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062713/56649f415503460f94c6078d/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Involving traditional owners, community members and scientists gives us more credibility and helps build good relationships
Increasing public action to support parks: Showing the community the need for better resourcing of the parks system and alerting them to threats
4. Evaluation can help involve the community, build constituency and promote protected area values
