Book (series)Evaluation of the “Meeting the Undernutrition Challenge (MUCH): Strengthening the enabling environment for food security and nutrition” programme
Project codes: GCP/BGD/059/USA and GCP/BGD/063/EC
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Meeting the Undernutrition Challenge (MUCH) programme, funded jointly by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the European Union, had the overall objective to improve the enabling environment to eradicate food insecurity and malnutrition in Bangladesh. The programme enhanced a national policy shift toward addressing nutrition by improving policy processes with more participation of civil society and subnational stakeholders, enriching policy and programming to address needs throughout the country. The programme supported significant enhancement of technical capacities to gather and analyze food security and nutrition evidence, innovative approaches for engaging students in nutrition learning activities, and improved the links between research and policy-making. Subnational capacity development support was initiated in the middle of the programme, identifying important opportunities for impactful multi-stakeholder collaboration on implementing national policy. The evaluation noted important effort on gender issues, but pointed out that emphasizing women’s empowerment and gender equity within all FSN programming is critical to success. To eradicate food insecurity and malnutrition throughout Bangladesh more work is especially needed in formalizing improved food-sector collaboration and multi-stakeholder governance mechanisms to continuously develop, learn, share and implement good practice at all levels. -
BookletEvaluation of the project "Shared prosperity through cooperation in border regions of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan"
Project codes: UNJP/KYR/026/PBF and UNJP/UZB/014/PBF
2025Also available in:
No results found.The final evaluation of the project "Shared prosperity through cooperation in border regions of Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan", funded by the Peacebuilding Fund, analysed project activities implemented from 2022 to 2024 in 12 project sites in the Jalalabad and Osh regions of Kyrgyzstan and the Andijan and Namangan regions of Uzbekistan. The final evaluation found the project to be relevant to the strategic peacebuilding priorities of the two countries, as well as to the needs of border communities, both in terms of supporting economic cooperation and promoting social cohesion. The project was also quite effective in supporting the increase of new links and connections across beneficiary communities, as well as in strengthening business capacities of women and youth. Project’s efficiency was characterized by a two-speed implementation schedule, resulting in delays in executing some project activities, and provided a basis for a no-cost extension of six months. -
Book (series)Final evaluation of the project “Adaptive management and monitoring of the Maghreb’s oases systems”
Project code: GCP/SNE/002/GFF GEF ID: 5798
2020Also available in:
The Maghreb's oases systems provide a major contribution to the region's food security, economy and protection of natural resources and play an essential role in the settlement of populations through job creation. Despite this potential, oasis ecosystems are threatened by a range of complex factors related to the expansion of agricultural land, increasing scarcity of water resources and competition for water. The project “Adaptive management and monitoring of the Maghreb's oases systems", implemented by FAO in Tunisia, Morocco and Mauritania from May 2016 to December 2019, brought together several key stakeholders from these three oasis countries, in order to address the lack of available information on the status of oases and to advocate on factual bases shared by all stakeholders and verifiable in the field. The project, which adopted a participatory approach, achieved its results, including strengthening the institutional and technical capacities for the management of oasis production systems, and those of local stakeholders to disseminate knowledge and deliver training on good practices. In terms of concrete achievements, all project components were implemented, except for the monitoring and evaluation component, which had mixed results. In the three countries, at different levels, efforts still need to be made to finalize the introduction of data into the Geographic Information System (GIS) and to ensure the adaptive management of the oases as envisaged by the project. In view of the role of oases as a crossroads of civilisations and a fundamental model of sustainability, it is important for FAO to establish an oasis data management system within FAOSTAT.
