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.

Interethnic violence and the loss of government control caused a humanitarian crisis in Central Africa Republic (CAR), culminating in the displacement of some 902 000 people. The crisis triggered a level 3 (L3) humanitarian response declared on 11 December 2013 by the Inter-Agency Standing Committee, and the following day by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). The L3 declaration enabled FAO to provide more rapid support to the CAR country office and rapidly scale u p operations. This evaluation assessed the entire FAO intervention since the L3 was declared. It also considered FAO’s strategic framework, particularly with regard to Strategic Objective 5 (SO5): Increase the resilience of livelihoods to threats and crises. The main purpose of this evaluation was to understand the impact of the L3 protocols on FAO’s capacity to respond to such emergencies; guide future actions undertaken in similar contexts; and increase the impact of FAO’s efforts to impr ove the resilience of affected populations. The purpose of the evaluation was to evaluate the following three areas:

The nature and success of FAO’s overall response, with a particular focus on the impact of the L3 protocol within this response.

How the response was coordinated, the quality of collaboration with partners, and the functions of the Food Security Cluster.

The impact of FAO’s response on populations affected by the crisis, including aspects related to improving resilience and linking short-term actions with long-term results.
