Synopsis (short abstract) The project aimed at strengthening the capacity of the Green Plan, improving the know-how of small and medium farmers and their livelihoods through land reclamation and water conservation in addition to creating job opportunities in the agriculture sector. The evaluation found that the project was relevant to FAO’s global mandate and its work in Lebanon as well as aligning itself with the government’s strategy for agriculture. Positive results were achieved despite the fact that it was an extremely challenging operational environment.

    This report presents the final evaluation of the project “Enhancing resilient livelihoods and food security of host communities and Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon through the promotion of sustainable agricultural development”. Key findings include the partial success of the farmers' registries, which, despite their importance, did not fully meet their targets due to technical and contextual challenges. The grant schemes provided valuable support but were hampered by process inefficiencies and financial barriers faced by beneficiaries. The project’s efforts in natural resource management successfully met or exceeded targets but raised concerns about the sustainability of environmental gains. The project made important strides in capacity building and provided short-term economic support to vulnerable communities, the sustainability of these outcomes is uncertain. The evaluation recommends continued investment in capacity building, the development of robust exit strategies, and more comprehensive approaches to gender equality and social cohesion to enhance the long-term impact of future interventions.

    This is the final evaluation of project Sustaining peace and improving social cohesion through the promotion of rural employment opportunities for youth in conflict-prone areas in Liberia, which was implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Labour Organization (ILO) and the World Food Programme (WFP), with USD 1 500 000 from the UN Peacebuilding Fund (PBF). The evaluation supports both accountability and learning by providing an independent assessment of the extent to which planned collective objectives have been met, as well as the project’s contribution to its intended peacebuilding objectives. It also aims at drawing lessons and recommendations to inform future projects. The evaluation used a consultative and participatory approach involving all project stakeholders throughout the process. Mixed methods, such as a desk review, semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions (FGDs) and field observations were used to collect information in Bong and Lofa county.
