Synopsis (short abstract) The evaluation seeks to contribute to organization-wide learning by drawing lessons from the multi-year funded resilience projects implemented in the Sahel and Cameroon and making recommendations for future programming. FAO intervened in these countries to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable households affected by the crisis in the Sahel through promoting sustainable livelihood. The evaluation found that the projects contributed to an improvement in animal and agricultural production and strengthened social cohesion among the different communities. The evaluation also found that a multi-year funding mechanism is flexible and allows a transition from a humanitarian to a development approach if used efficiently. In its future programming, FAO should promote an integrated approach, targeting the same beneficiaries and enabling them to engage in productive activities and sustainable natural resource management. In fragile and emergency contexts, FAO should adapt its tools and procedures for more flexibility and adaptive management.

    L'évaluation vise à contribuer à l'apprentissage à l'échelle de l'organisation en tirant les leçons des projets de résilience de financement pluriannuel mis en œuvre au Sahel et au Cameroun et en faisant des recommandations pour la programmation future. La FAO est intervenue dans ces pays pour renforcer la résilience des ménages vulnérables touchés par la crise au Sahel en promouvant des moyens de subsistance durables. L'évaluation a révélé que les projets ont contribué à une amélioration de la production animale et agricole et renforcé la cohésion sociale entre les différentes communautés. L'évaluation a également révélé qu'un mécanisme de financement pluriannuel est flexible et permet une transition d'une approche humanitaire à une approche de développement s'il est utilisé efficacement. Dans sa programmation future, la FAO devrait promouvoir une approche intégrée, ciblant les mêmes bénéficiaires, leur permettant de s'engager dans des activités productives et une gestion durable des ressources naturelles. Dans les contextes fragiles et d'urgence, la FAO devrait adapter ses outils et procédures pour plus de flexibilité et de gestion adaptative.

    Strengthening food insecurity monitoring in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and the Niger - GCP/GLO/540/ITA
    2018

    More than 20 million people in the Sahel Region suffer from food insecurity. Without knowledge and data to understand the current situation, interventions are difficult to design and risk being ineffective. In recent years, the proliferation of food security indicators has created further challenges and, as a result, policymakers and development partners struggle to adequately target where and how to intervene. Therefore, this project aimed to improve food security monitoring by training staff within national institutions in Burkina Faso, Chad, Mali, Mauritania and the Niger to derive and analyse food security indicators using household food consumption survey data and increase the effectiveness of policies to reduce food insecurity.
