The main objectives were to expand domestic organic agri-food supply chains and foster foreign organic trade exchanges. The project outcomes, as well as the experiences and lessons learned during its implementation, should offer ideas and demonstrate the opportunities for scaling up a green economy transition across the EECCA region. The ultimate aim of the project was to increase the number of companies and farmers that harness the trade opportunities of organic agriculture.

The project’s overall development goal was to reduce the anthropogenic uses of lead and cadmium in key products and industry sectors that give rise to particular exposure concerns. The evaluation sought to assess project performance (in terms of relevance, effectiveness and efficiency), and determine outcomes and impacts (actual and potential) stemming from the project, including their sustainability. The evaluation has two primary purposes: (i) to provide evidence of results to meet accountability requirements, and (ii) to promote learning, feedback, and knowledge sharing through results and lessons learned among UN Environment and their implementing partners including the relevant agencies in the project participating countries.
