The project “Support to agricultural livelihoods of rural and peri-urban returnees and communities in Nineveh Governorate, Iraq” was implemented from June 2019 to June 2023. The project was developed in response to the destruction of human, financial, physical and natural capital caused by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) conflict (2014-2017) in the Governorate of Nineveh.The evaluation found that the project is strongly aligned with national priorities, FAO's strategic objectives and the needs of Iraqi in peri-urban and rural communities. The project demonstrated elements of the humanitarian–development–peace (HDP) nexus, reinforcing national systems and likely enhancing social cohesion within communities. The project successfully introduced sustainable agricultural practices, including alternative fodder crops and livestock interventions as part of the dairy value chain, contributing to economic benefits for smallholder farmers and empowerment of women in rural communities. However, external and internal challenges persisted. In addition, the project successfully trained the Directorate of Agriculture, through its extension workers, and farmers in Nineveh Governorate, transferring knowledge. Moreover, efforts were made towards sustainability through strengthening partnerships, enhancing knowledge of stakeholders, developing a sense of ownership of the project, replicating a similar project in Iraq and contributing towards a more conducive environment. Despite these efforts, limited access to financial resources and environmental factors pose challenges to sustainability.Recommendations include continued emphasis on value chain development, enhanced monitoring efforts, and further implementation of the HDP approach to ensure sustained project impact and resilience in a fragile context.
