Synopsis (short abstract) The Global Network against Food Crises was founded in 2016 as “an alliance of humanitarian and development actors united by a commitment to tackle the root causes of food crises through increased sharing of analysis, knowledge and strengthened coordination in order to promote collective efforts across the Humanitarian -- Development -- Peace Nexus.” To further the aims of the GNAFC, the GNAFC Partnership Programme was launched in July 2018 with the aim of building resilience in countries facing food crises with support from the European Union. The overall objective of the GNAFC Partnership Programme is to “substantially increase the resilience of vulnerable people’s livelihoods to food crises, through its contribution to the GNAFC, which will play a central role in translating evidencebased analysis into policy change at global and country level.”This evaluation serves the dual objectives of accountability and learning. This evaluation will firstly provide evaluation evidence and learning on performance and adopt a forward-looking perspective. Given that the GNAFC Partnership Programme piloted several innovative tools and approaches, this evaluation is also expected to provide evidence relevant to the needs to FAO corporate level users. Secondly the evaluation is expected to provide accountability for results to the donor.

    The “Building Resilience and Promoting Durable Solutions in Lower Shabelle” project is one of the pro-resilience interventions in food crisis contexts implemented within the broader framework of the Global Network against Food Crises Partnership Programme. In September 2022, FAO carried out an assessment of the project to examine its impact on the resilience and food security of beneficiary households, as well as how the intervention may have contributed (or not) to support efforts to achieve Goal 2 of “Zero Hunger” of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This report presents the results of this assessment.

    The "Building food system resilience in protracted crises" was a four-year programme addressing the cause-effect relationship between conflict and food insecurity, through a livelihood and resilience-based approach, in Somalia, South Sudan and the Sudan. It supported improved incomes in rural areas by enhancing key agropastoral and farming value chains, as well as improved nutritional practices, natural resources management and local conflict-management capacities. The Food and Nutrition Security Resilience Programme (FNS-REPRO) was a collaborative initative funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Netherlands and implemented by the Food and Agriculture Orgranization of the United Nations (FAO) in partnership with Wageningen University & Research.

    The FAO's "Food and Nutrition Security Resilience Programme (FNS-REPRO)" aimed to build food system resilience in crisis-affected areas of Sudan (Darfur), Somaliland, and South Sudan from 2019 to 2024, with a budget of USD 28 million. This evaluation assessed the program's relevance, approach, and impact on rural food security, nutrition, and resilience. Using mixed methods, including over 100 interviews, 20 focus group discussions, and field visits, the evaluation revealed FNS-REPRO's innovative approach to addressing conflict and food insecurity by upgrading food systems along value chains. Despite its novel design, the program lacked coherence between components, such as integrating nutrition capacity-building with agricultural value chains. Significant improvements were noted in agricultural income, natural resource management, conflict management, and women's engagement. However, the absence of local private sector partnerships posed a sustainability risk. The evaluation provided eight recommendations to enhance future programs, emphasizing comprehensive value chain support, local partnerships, peacebuilding funding, and community-based monitoring.
