Synopsis (short abstract) At its May 2005 session, the FAO Programme Committee recommended that FAO should undertake “an evaluation drawing conclusions on the basis of evaluations of the totality of FAO’s work in individual countries”. Country evaluations respond to General Assembly Resolution 59/250 of 2004, which stresses that the operational activities for development of the United Nations system should be valued and assessed on the basis of their impact on the recipient countries as contributions to their capacity to pursue poverty eradication, sustained economic growth and sustainable development. The country evaluation in Cambodia is the third such exercise conducted by FAO, following evaluations in Mozambique (2005-06) and Sierra Leone (2006-07). The FAO Evaluation Service, responsible for organizing the evaluation, consulted widely among FAO Headquarters units and Regional Offices on the possible countries for selection in each region. Among the criteria suggested for selection were the percentage and a bsolute number of under-nourished in the country, a high proportion of rural vs. urban population, size and diversity of the FAO programme and presence of a resident FAOR. Cambodia was selected as the first country for evaluation in Asia.

    Cambodia is among the Least Developed Countries that continue to struggle with serious environmental issues, among which are climate change, water resources and land degradation. The project, implemented from 2014 to 2020, contributed to build the adaptive capacity of rural communities and reduce their vulnerability to climate change through micro-watershed management and climate resilient agriculture practices through interventions at national, sub-national and community levels. It was designed to address barriers at all levels (local to national) stemming from lack of awareness, knowledge, understanding and capacity concerning climate change adaptation and the absence of alternative livelihoods, particularly affecting rural women. The evaluation found that the project activities made some important steps in contributing to reducing vulnerability and increasing resilience for climate change adaptation in the pilot communes. While the project managed to implement many of the outputs, a number of issues and delays limited the effectiveness on-the-ground of this innovative yet ambitious project.

    Since 2005 country evaluations have formed a part of the evaluation program of FAO. In 2007, FAO Programme Committee "emphasized the importance of the evaluation of FAO’s effectiveness in individual countries and considered that future country evaluations should include in the sample some middle-income countries in addition to LDCs". A country evaluation was carried out in India in 2008, that evaluation illustrated the different role that FAO plays in a large and diverse country like India, whic h has requests and expectations to vis-à-vis FAO, as well as potential contributions to make to the Organization.
