Collaborating with various non-governmental organizations and supported by local and national stakeholders, STEP has worked to strengthen WMA protection and governance measures and reduce conflicts. The project evaluation is essential to assess its impact, effectiveness, and sustainability, providing valuable insights and lessons to guide future conservation and community development efforts.
