The evaluation assessed the three projects as a thematic cluster, focusing on outcome level results and the most strategic outputs. It analysed the work and assessed the overall contribution by the programme in Afghanistan by emphasizing the intended and unintended results. The evaluation was carried out between September and December 2015, with field mission to Afghanistan from the end of September to the middle of October 2015. The evaluation had contacted stakeholders, including target groups , at central level (ministries and directorates), provincial level (two provinces) and district level (three districts). In addition to contacting project staff, and staff of the FAO Representation in Afghanistan, the mission contacted one of the LTOs based in Bangkok.

Women have traditionally played a role in water conflict resolution in rural areas. The most transformative change the project has achieved is the institutionalization of this role through the Water User Associations (WUAs) so that women gain further acceptance within their communities. The evaluation found that FAO and IOM should further explore the catalytic effect of this project in sustaining local peace prospects, particularly with an enhanced role for women in conflict resolution, and should build a necessary link to the national peacebuilding efforts. This could be done through a cascading programming, i.e. two-three PBF projects to be designed and implemented sequentially so they can have a better chance to contribute to higher order outcomes. The successful resolution of water conflicts and the restoration of water infrastructure through the CfW component had a direct effect on increased crop production and income of farmers. The measures in place to promote the sustainability of the project and the continuation of improved agriculture once the project has come to an end rely on the increased capacity of WUAs to use their conflict resolution skills, maintain the sites and find further support. Youth were not explicitly targeted in conflict resolution activities but they represented the majority of the beneficiaries of cash for work (CfW) activities. FAO and IOM should have a targeted approach if they are to work on youth, peace and security. They should also do a thorough assessment of the socioeconomic impacts of CfW on the Yemen context before rolling about a programme-wide CfW or cash transfer activities in Yemen.
