Synopsis (short abstract) The evaluation reviews FAO activities in Tajikistan for the five-year period 2004 to 2009, with a view towards improving the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and impact of its work; providing accountability about performance and assessing the role of FAO in a transition from emergency assistance to a more normal development mode. Throughout the period, and despite increased economic growth as the country emerged from the effects of civil war, the economy of Tajikistan remained fragile. The c ountry faces a number of challenges, including in the agricultural sector. There has been a chronic absence of reliable household income for the rural population which has been exacerbated by periodic years of drought, the last being 2007/2008. There is a continuing high level of rural poverty. The poorest groups of the population spend over 70 percent of their income on food and a sizeable level of the population is subject to chronic or seasonal food insecurity.

    There is increasing attention to the importance of biodiversity for food security and nutrition, especially above-ground biodiversity such as plants and animals. However, less attention is being paid to the biodiversity beneath our feet, soil biodiversity, which drives many processes that produce food or purify soil and water. This report is the result of an inclusive process involving more than 300 scientists from around the world under the auspices of the FAO’s Global Soil Partnership and its Intergovernmental Technical Panel on Soils, the Convention on Biological Diversity, the Global Soil Biodiversity Initiative, and the European Commission. It presents concisely the state of knowledge on soil biodiversity, the threats to it, and the solutions that soil biodiversity can provide to problems in different fields. It also represents a valuable contribution to raising awareness of the importance of soil biodiversity and highlighting its role in finding solutions to today's global threats.

    At its 127th session, the Programme Committee asked the Office of Evaluation (OED) to conduct a comprehensive assessment of FAO’s Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) to evaluate its relevance, effectiveness and efficiency, fund allocation and distribution, governance and management, in addition to strategic and programmatic aspects. OED undertook the evaluation between March and September 2020 with a view to presenting it to the Programme Committee in November 2020. The evaluation is primarily aimed at FAO Senior Management and Members. Core users are the Technical Cooperation Unit of the Partnerships and Outreach stream, decentralized FAO offices, technical divisions, partners and external stakeholders. The evaluation assesses TCP activities at global, regional and national level, including development and emergency TCPs, Technical Cooperation Programme Facility (TCPF) projects and inter-regional TCPs. It covers the period from 2012–13 to 2018–19. The key questions addressed by the evaluation are: To what extent are TCP projects strategic and/or programmatic, and how relevant and effective are TCPs in meeting country/regional needs? How effective are fund allocation and distribution to countries? What criteria are used? At country level, how do TCP project governance and management contribute to operational efficiency and effectiveness? How instrumental have TCP projects been in achieving catalytic effects and to what extent have they had a sustainable impact? What are the factors enabling and/or hindering TCP success in terms of catalytic effect and sustainable impact? What are the best practices and lessons learned from TCP projects?
