dc.descriptionThis report is a Terminal Review of the UNEP project: Assessment of existing and future emissions reduction from coal sector toward the implementation of the Minamata and Stockholm Conventions, implemented between 2021 and 2025.The project's overall goal was to demonstrate mercury and POPs emissions reduction potential from coal-fired power plants and industrial boilers in order to support governments in implementing control and reduction strategies for new and existing sources. The review sought to assess project performance (in terms of relevance, effectiveness and efficiency), and determine the sustainability of its results. The review has two primary purposes: accountability and learning. Data collection methods included: in-depth interviews and document reviews. Data analysis was based on applying triangulated data to assess performance against a reconstructed Theory of Change and its causal pathways. With an overall performance rating of Moderately Unsatisfactory, the 4th point on a six-point scale. The main finding attributing to the rating is that neither project outcome was achieved as designed due to a combination of design limitations and external factors. The main recommendations to UNEP are: i) to engage with KRU to expand the dashboard to global coverage with automated data updates, ii) to engage with the Global Energy Monitor the possibility of hosting the tools to ensure institutional sustainability, and iii) engage with the Minamata Convention Secretariat to ensure post-project dissemination of the dashboard to Parties to the Convention.
