    The report on the evaluation of project OSRO/SRL/901/SWE, titled “Emergency Agriculture and Food Security Assistance in Support of Returnees, Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), Host Families and other Vulnerable Families in the Districts of Jaffna, Mannar and Vavuniya in Northern Sri Lanka” articulates the key results and challenges faced during project implementation within the broader context of the FAO emergency and rehabilitation programme in Northern Sri Lanka to re-establish agriculture based livelihoods and improve food security for returnees and internally displaced persons (IDPs). As highlighted in the report, the project exceeded its target to reach 106 percent of planned beneficiaries. The project made notable impact on the livelihoods of targeted farming households, making them less dependent on food aid and considerably improving their food security and coping mechanisms. The report also presents sound recommendations and good lessons learned to strengthen project/progra mme results and to streamline implementation in the field.

    Project Evaluation Report OSRO/LIR/903/SWE “Emergency assistance for the food production and income generation of 5 000 urban and peri-urban inhabitants vulnerable to soaring food prices in 5 counties” 2011

    Project OSRO/LIR/903/SWE was funded by the Swedish Government and implemented between May 2009 and June 2010, with a budget of 522,229 USD, by the Emergency Rehabilitation and Coordination Unit of FAO in Monrovia. The FAO Emergency Operations Service (TCEO) in headquarters was the project budget holder and operating unit, the Seed and Plant Genetic Resources Service (AGPS) the Leading Technical Unit (LTU). The Agriculture Coordinator for Montserrado County was appointed as the focal person withi n the MoA to supervise the project’s implementation. Nine NGOs were engaged in the project’s implementation (both inputs distribution and training) in the original five targeted counties, while in Gbarpolu the project was jointly implemented by FAO, the MoA and the Ministry of Gender and Development (MoGD). In spite of the very limited time frame and budget of the project, it went far beyond emergency, especially by providing training to trainers (ToT) and farmers (ToF). While it is eventually p retentious to expect sustainability from giving hand-outs (seeds and watering cans) to communities, the training component achieved in fact sustained success among the beneficiaries.
