Book (series)Evaluation of the project “Creating peaceful societies through women’s improved access to management of natural resources, land tenure rights and economic empowerment in Sierra Leone”
Project code: UNJP/SIL/050/PBF

No results found.This report presents the results of the evaluation of the project “Creating peaceful societies through women’s improved access to management of natural resources, land tenure rights and economic empowerment in Sierra Leone” (UNJP/SIL/050/PBF), jointly implemented by FAO and ILO between 2019 and 2020. The project aimed at addressing the two underlying causes of conflicts in Sierra Leone - gender discrimination and fragmented land governance - by focusing on: i) more effective and gender-inclusive land tenure governance; and ii) women’s economic empowerment through skills, knowledge, gender-sensitive financial services and organizational capacity.The project was clearly appropriate and strategic to the main peacebuilding goals and challenges in Sierra Leone. It was also clear that the project has successfully created a momentum for women and their communities at large to more confidently address conflict issues in the future. Women’s participation in design and management of income-generating economic activities was particularly successful.The evaluation makes a number of recommendations, including a follow-up of the livelihood component. Scale-up and sustainability should be the next steps for widespread mapping of family-owned lands. Providing a lighter version of the mapping software (SOLA) would help in this regard, and it could also sustain mapping at the community level after project closure. -

Book (series)Evaluation of the project "Empowering youth at risk as resources for sustaining peace and community resilience in Tonkolili and Kenema districts in Sierra Leone"
Project code: UNJP/SIL/052/PBF
2024Also available in:
No results found.This report concerns the evaluation of the PBF-funded project jointly implemented by FAO, UNDP and UNFPA to support youth at risk in Sierra Leone to reintegrate into their community and families, and at the same time, advocate for institutional reforms that address the core question of recruitment of youth into cliques and gangs. It aims to inform the project stakeholders and other interested parties about project achievements and lessons learned. The project effectively helped support the economic and social empowerment of youth at risk and strengthen trust between beneficiaries and their communities. However, weaknesses such as failure to finish and deliver youth livelihood facilities and materials and the absence of clear communication reduced the sustainability of gains and the likelihood of impact. It is recommended to complete all project activities and engage exit plan, streamline future procurement mechanisms and process, engage systems that encourage local contractors, start drug and alcohol counselling at commencement of project, incorporate mental health and psychosocial counselling, encourage better data collection as part of project monitoring, and consider a longer-term timeframe for programming.
