Book (series)Evaluation of the project “Smallholder Agriculture Development and Commercialization Project of the Ministry of Agriculture”
Project code: UTF/ANG/059/ANG
2023Also available in:
No results found.The project, funded by the World Bank, benefited from FAO Technical Assistance under Subcomponent 1.1 on capacity building through the farmer field school (FFS) approach. Despite some weaknesses and missing links in the design and implementation of the project, FAO's intervention has helped to build the capacities of smallholder farmers and farmers' organizations. Among the 11 deliverables of the project, six fully delivered six deliverables and achieved the relevant objectives. Four outputs have been partially delivered or can be improved: new training modules; an integrated monitoring and evaluation (M&E) methodology on FFS; literacy; and a handover strategy. 1 488 facilitators were trained out of the 1 600 expected and should cover the planned 4 000 FFS. The organizational and leadership assets generated by FFS among smallholder farmers are by far the project's most important and effective contributions to better outcomes. This report describes the salient results obtained and identifies the factors and conditions that deserved/deserve to be taken into account to ensure better quality of the products and the sustainability of the results. -

These include the evolution of trade and markets; the emergence of global value chains in food and agriculture; the extent to which smallholder farmers in developing countries participate in value chains and markets; and the transformative impacts of digital technology on markets. Along these themes, SOCO 2020 discusses policies and institutions that can promote inclusive economic growth and also harness markets to contribute towards the realization of the 2030 Agenda and its Sustainable Development Goals.
