Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluation of the “Project for the restoration of livelihoods in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Tribal Districts”
Project code: UNJP/PAK/148/UNJ
2021Also available in:
No results found.The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Newly Merged Districts have seen a prolonged military conflict leading to the widespread displacement of its population and damages and losses to the agricultural lands, irrigation, and water harvesting structures, and livestock populations. Since 2015, the rehabilitation of the displaced population is ongoing but slow due to loss of livelihoods and reduced income opportunities. To support the restoration of livelihoods, funded by the FCDO, FAO undertook the “Project for the restoration of livelihoods in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Tribal Districts” which involved training farmers on climate-smart agriculture practices, rehabilitating government facilities/infrastructures, operationalizing small-scale enterprises, and supporting agriculture and livestock production. The evaluation found that while the project was mostly successful in meeting output targets, a critical review of the following elements can further improve programme delivery: realistic target setting, market-led initiatives for value chain development, operation and maintenance plans for rehabilitated schemes, gender-specific interventions, and incorporating anticipated procurement-related delays in the project design. -
Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluation of the “Project for restoration of livelihoods in the merged areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa”
Project code: OSRO/PAK/802/JCA

No results found.The evaluation of the project assessed the project’s design, its achievements vis-à-vis its objectives, its impact, and its success areas, gaps, and lessons learned through a mixed-methods approach combining in-depth analysis of project documents with direct observations in the field, key informant interviews, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions. The evaluation found that the project was successful in meeting or nearly meeting most of the output targets set out including: i) provision of improved/climate-resilient seeds to 22 000 households; ii) established 350 vegetable nurseries; iii) established 500 seasonal vegetable production enterprises; iv) established 200 off-season vegetable production enterprises; v) provided fruit plants planted around vegetable and cereal fields, and in homestead gardens (50 plants/household to 2 000/household); vi) established 50 model demonstration plots of improved variety crops (cereal, vegetables, fodder) established through farmer field schools (FFS); vii) installed 60 High Efficiency Irrigation System (HEIS) tunnels (30 in each district); viii) provided backyard poultry packages to 3 800 women beneficiaries; ix) 2 300 doses of sexed semen (1 150 each for Khyber and Kurram districts) were procured and handed over to Livestock and Dairy Development Department; x) rehabilitated 23 irrigation schemes; and xi) rehabilitated ten fish farm projects. Overall, the evaluation team found the project design to be sound. The theory of change (TOC) is based on clearly articulated causal linkages between individual interventions and the planned objective. However, the project lacked gender-focused interventions. The project also faced delays throughout implementation which were further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommendations for future projects include review of the FAO’s internal procurement processes to minimize delays, ensuring the effectiveness and sustainability of infrastructure (irrigation) schemes through continued beneficiary engagement, provision of integrated support to poultry value chain development, and setting gender-disaggregated activity targets and linking interventions with broader outcomes for women beneficiaries. -

Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluación de medio término del proyecto "Gestión sostenible de la agrobiodiversidad y recuperación de ecosistemas vulnerables en la región Andina del Perú a través del Patrimonio Agrícola Mundial (SIPAM)
GCP/PER/045/GFF FMAM 9092
2021Also available in:
No results found.El Perú es un país que alberga una multiplicidad de ecosistemas, especies, recursos genéticos y pueblos indígenas. El proyecto “Gestión sostenible de la agrobiodiversidad y recuperación de ecosistemas vulnerables en la región andina del Perú a través del enfoque de sistemas importantes del patrimonio agrícola mundial (SIPAM)” surge como una iniciativa para reducir las amenazas a la conservación en las zonas andinas. Busca realizar acciones para conservar in situ y aprovechar de manera sostenible la agrobiodiversidad a través de la preservación de sistemas de agricultura tradicional, la gestión integrada de los bosques, agua y recursos de la tierra y el mantenimiento de los servicios ecosistémicos. Considerando el tiempo transcurrido y el gasto realizado, los resultados alcanzados por el proyecto son incipientes. Si bien sobresale la atención dada a la conservación in situ y el manejo sostenible de la agrobiodiversidad, la restauración del paisaje y los temas de comercialización y mercados tienen poco nivel de avance. En términos generales, existen riesgos significativos para la sostenibilidad de las acciones realizadas. -
Book (series)Emergency responseEvaluation of the project "Emergency response and support to vulnerable populations in at-risk areas of Burkina Faso" - Phase I
OSRO/BKF/801/SWE
2022Also available in:
The project "Emergency response and support to vulnerable populations in at-risk areas of Burkina Faso" is financed by the Swedish International Development Agency. FAO implemented the project in partnership with the Government of Burkina Faso through the Ministry for Agriculture, Hydro-agricultural Development and Mechanisation. The project seeks to improve vulnerable populations’ access to food and to means of food production. This first phase of the evaluation focused on suggesting improvements to the project over the rest of its implementation period, and more particularly improvements as pertaining to relevance, efficiency and efficacy of the project. The implementation of these recommendations should allow the project and more generally FAO, the FAO Office in Burkina Faso and the Government, to close a project that has achieved its objectives -
Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluation of FAO’s contribution to the Republic of Indonesia 2016–2020 2021
Also available in:
No results found.There are numerous risks to the sustainability and stability of Indonesia’s farming system, food production system, supply chains, and ecosystems. The evaluation aims to answer two essential questions: whether FAO is doing what is needed and whether it is making a difference.This evaluation recommends that FAO support the green and blue (land and sea) preparedness and adaptation plans, as well as early warning systems. The evaluation further recommends that FAO ramp up its support for a national decision support system that adopts a food systems approach to provide policymakers with the best analytical evidence and data available to guide new public policies and regulations.Many of the conclusions and recommendations call for policy and regulatory reform. The evaluation recommends that FAO work with Indonesia to establish innovative data management systems, new analysis methods, and analytical tools on agriculture including fisheries and forestry.
