DocumentEvaluation reportFinal Evaluation of “Progressive Control of Peste des Petits Ruminants in Pakistan”
Project - GCP/PAK/127/USA
2017Also available in:
No results found.In June 2017, the three and a half year project “Progressive Control of Peste des Petits Ruminants (PPR) in Pakistan” (GCP/PAK/127/USA) was completed. The purpose of this final evaluation is to analyse project achievements in their context, draw lessons for planners and recommend future actions that the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Government of Pakistan should take to accelerate the progressive control of the PPR disease in the country. The context of th e project was that PPR, which is a fatal and economically damaging infectious disease of sheep and goats, was widespread and prevalent throughout the country at a time when Pakistan was joining a specific progressive control pathway (PCP) to limit and eventually eradicate the infection. The project’s expected overall impact was to improve the livelihoods of smallholder farmers by curtailing their losses from PPR. This would be achieved by implementing activities to curtail the spread of PPR in P akistan and mitigate its negative impacts on small ruminant-based livelihoods. Three main outputs were expected to contribute significantly to this: enhanced capacity for laboratory diagnosis and vaccine production; improved field surveillance for PPR; and demonstrations of effective control through vaccination in different animal husbandry systems and different locations of the country. The evaluation questions focused on whether the project successfully delivered its results in terms of improv ed diagnosis, surveillance and vaccination – the essential tools for Pakistan to begin its journey along the PCP. The evaluation team visited laboratories and veterinary offices, and interviewed and held discussions with veterinary staff and smallholder farmers in several provinces. This provided opportunity to gather information and opinion from these beneficiaries to correlate with reports and other information provided by the project. -

DocumentEvaluation reportFinal evaluation of the project Development of a Framework for the Progressive Control of Foot and Mouth Disease in Pakistan
jun/15
2016Also available in:
No results found.This document presents findings of the final evaluation of the project “Development of a Framework for the Progressive Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease in Pakistan”. The project ended in September 2015 after a four-year implementation period. The project budget was USD 7.3 million, which was spent by the end of the implementation period. The main donors were the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the Federal and Provincial Governments of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. The pro ject was implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), under number GCP/PAK/123/USA. The main project beneficiaries were strategically selected holders of buffaloes and cattle, and the public veterinary services at federal and provincial levels. The purpose of this final evaluation is to analyse project achievements in their context, draw lessons for planners, and identify good practices. While this report is of interest to all project stakeholders, it is espe cially useful for those addressing the control of Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) in Pakistan.

Book (series)FlagshipThe State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2021
Transforming food systems for food security, improved nutrition and affordable healthy diets for all
2021In recent years, several major drivers have put the world off track to ending world hunger and malnutrition in all its forms by 2030. The challenges have grown with the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures. This report presents the first global assessment of food insecurity and malnutrition for 2020 and offers some indication of what hunger might look like by 2030 in a scenario further complicated by the enduring effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. It also includes new estimates of the cost and affordability of healthy diets, which provide an important link between the food security and nutrition indicators and the analysis of their trends. Altogether, the report highlights the need for a deeper reflection on how to better address the global food security and nutrition situation.To understand how hunger and malnutrition have reached these critical levels, this report draws on the analyses of the past four editions, which have produced a vast, evidence-based body of knowledge of the major drivers behind the recent changes in food security and nutrition. These drivers, which are increasing in frequency and intensity, include conflicts, climate variability and extremes, and economic slowdowns and downturns – all exacerbated by the underlying causes of poverty and very high and persistent levels of inequality. In addition, millions of people around the world suffer from food insecurity and different forms of malnutrition because they cannot afford the cost of healthy diets. From a synthesized understanding of this knowledge, updates and additional analyses are generated to create a holistic view of the combined effects of these drivers, both on each other and on food systems, and how they negatively affect food security and nutrition around the world.In turn, the evidence informs an in-depth look at how to move from silo solutions to integrated food systems solutions. In this regard, the report proposes transformative pathways that specifically address the challenges posed by the major drivers, also highlighting the types of policy and investment portfolios required to transform food systems for food security, improved nutrition, and affordable healthy diets for all. The report observes that, while the pandemic has caused major setbacks, there is much to be learned from the vulnerabilities and inequalities it has laid bare. If taken to heart, these new insights and wisdom can help get the world back on track towards the goal of ending hunger, food insecurity, and malnutrition in all its forms.
