Synopsis (short abstract) The Terms of Reference (TOR) define the evaluation of the National Special Programme for Food Security (NSPFS) as a comprehensive study of the activities that have taken place over the period 2002-06, and of the outcomes that have been produced to the benefit of participating farmers. The NSPFS Evaluation TORs, presented in Annex 1, originate from an approach paper prepared by the FAO Evaluation Service which was discussed and agreed with stakeholders during a scoping mission to Abuja, undertake n in October 2007 by the evaluation team leader and the responsible FAO evaluation officer. The study had two main components, an impact study which aimed to obtain a qualitative and quantitative assessment of the economic benefits of the micro-investments made in the NSPFS and the existence of a multiplier effect, and an evaluation mission, which utilized the results of the impact study and other information to assess relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of the NSPFS.

    Overall the Management of the National Special Programme for Food Security (NSPFS) is of the opinion that most of the recommendations listed in the evaluation report are valid and useful for programme planning. A number of the evaluation’s recommendations coincide with the recommendations made previously by the NSPFS Implementation Completion Review (ICR) which was carried out in 2007. These were taken into consideration in the planning of the National Programme for Food Security (NPFS) Expansio n Phase, given that the planning of the Expansion Phase took place prior to the Independent Evaluation. In this sense, the NPFS Management is already well on track with the implementation of the evaluation’s recommendations. A notable example is the increased effort to improve the M&E system and the currently ongoing work on establishing a programme baseline which will serve as a baseline for assessing programme impact.

    The first five year National Programme for Food Security (NPFS) was launched in Nigeria in November 2001, in partnership with FAO. The objective of the NPFS is to foster the development of smallholder agriculture and income generation in rural areas, improve national food security, and reduce poverty on an economically and environmentally sustainable basis. In order to consolidate and expand on the results achieved during the first phase of the NPFS programme , the current project was launched. Its objectives were to strengthen the technical and organizational capacities of NPFS implementing agencies to deliver country wide comprehensive services, and to enhance decision making and productive capacities of beneficiary farmers, in order to support food insecure and poor households.
