Synopsis (short abstract) In 2020, the FAO Office of Evaluation (OED) backstopped the FAO Eritrea Office in the review of the FAO Country Programme. This is the first review of the Eritrea Country Programme and covers the Country Programming Framework (CPF) period from 2017 to 2021.The review assessed FAO’s strategic positioning in Eritrea, the programme results and provided strategic recommendations on how FAO can better realign its programme to evolving needs. The review found that while the Ministry of Agriculture and the Minitry of Marine Resources fully participated in the formulation of the CPF, the Ministry of Land, Water and the Environment’s participation was limited. Overall, the results are unequal across the three priority areas of the CPF. The review makes thirteen recommendations. This includes FAO enhancing its cooperation with the Ministry of Marine Resources and the Ministry of Land, Water and the Environment. More specifically, both ministries should also be involved in the preparation of the next CPF.

    Evaluation of FAO's country programme in the Sudan (2017–2021) 2023

    As a result of the current crisis in the Sudan, growth has slowed down and food insecurity has become more severe. Developing a sustainable agricultural sector is a way of enhancing food security and reducing poverty in the country. As a specialized agency, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) can assist the government in providing policy advice and implementing programmes that contribute to food and nutrition security. According to the evaluation, FAO's programme has provided critical technical support at the sector level, particularly in the area of food security and livelihoods, as well as bridging the gap between its emergency and development interventions. However, it did not have the opportunity to provide policy advice and to engage strategically.
