    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.

    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.
