Abstract

 Assessment of diversity of Albanian National Inventory is carried out using import statistics by passport descriptors from Plant Genetic Resources database. Flora of Albania identified more than 3250 species of plants, but only 2% of them are included in the National Inventory of Albania in EURISCO catalogue. Albanian National Inventory of Plant Genetic Resources in EURISCO (2% of Albanian Flora) includes 33 genera, 62 species and 2111 accession, where 54% of them are collected genetic materials. Target population: entire set of sampling units to which findings of the survey are to be extrapolated. Biodiversity projects are designed on the assumption that project interventions will lead to conservation of key biological resources. Monitoring and evaluation are the primary mechanisms to assess whether a project is meeting its targets and objectives. These guidelines are intended primarily to assist World Bank task teams and consultants in the  design and  implementation  of  monitoring and evaluation monitor and evaluate plans for biodiversity conservation projects. They must  be  developed  as integral  elements  of  projects  to  provide  information  on  whether  project  interventions  are successful in achieving project objectives and on how social, economic, political and institutional factors are affecting project performance. Monitoring and evaluation for biodiversity projects involves two kinds of indicators:   implementation performance indicators and project impact on biodiversity. These guidelines focus primarily on the latter . Monitor and evaluate plan is a detailed  program of  work which defines what   monitoring activities, when and by whom, and how that information will feed back into management decisions. The plan should include an estimate of costs of implementation, and identify training and capacity building needs among the staff and institutions responsible for this monitor and evaluate. In the developing country context it is especially important to develop a monitor and evaluate plan that is simple, inexpensive, and sustainable in terms of the financial, institutional, and technical resources available.
