Synopsis (short abstract) 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

    Burkina Faso | Emergency response and support to improve the resilience of vulnerable populations in at-risk areas

    In Burkina Faso, the 2017/18 agropastoral campaign was marked by food and biomass deficits, the effects of which were exacerbated by the fragile situation in the country. Since January 2019, insecurity has continued to worsen due to recurrent attacks perpetrated by non-state armed groups, triggering massive population displacements, thus exacerbating the vulnerability of communities further resulting in increased humanitarian needs and significant challenges for the country. Thanks to funding from Sweden, FAO is supporting 18 700 households through various activities (cash-based interventions, agricultural and livestock production support) in order to meet their immediate needs, while ensuring that the root causes of their vulnerability are addressed in order to reduce dependency on food aid.

    Le projet «Réponse d’urgence et d’appui à des populations vulnérables dans les zones à risque du Burkina Faso» - Phase I, financé par l’Agence suédoise de coopération internationale au développement, est mis en œuvre par la FAO en partenariat avec le Gouvernement burkinabé sous la tutelle technique du Ministère de l’agriculture, des aménagements hydrauliques et de la mécanisation. L’objectif du projet est d’améliorer l’accès des ménages vulnérables à la nourriture et aux moyens de production.

    Evaluation of the project “Supporting emergency needs, early recovery and longer-term resilience in the Syrian Arab Republic’s agriculture sector 2017–2020"

    The project aimed to increase food availability for vulnerable households through improved smallholder production, build sustainable access to productive assets, income and food supply, and foster an enabling environment for resilience building and agriculture sector recovery. This is the first project of its kind for FAO Syrian Arab Republic, moving away from delivery of purely humanitarian support to implementation of more longer-term resilience building activities. It was an ambitious project combining humanitarian and resilience building activities. The operational context in which it was implemented was extremely challenging. FAO needs to consolidate its support to communities by selecting specific value chains and adopting an area-based approach in which multiple activities can be layered upon each other leading to more sustainable outcomes. In order to maintain its rightful leadership role of the Food Security Cluster, further investment is needed in coordination at the whole of the Syrian Arab Republic and hub levels.
