This evaluation represents the first comprehensive, independent evaluation of FAO’s country programme in Pakistan. The purpose of the evaluation is to provide inputs to the FAO country office and the Government of Pakistan to better orient FAO’s approach, strategy and programme in Pakistan, and to align FAO’s approach to the needs of the country. The evaluation supports FAO accountability to the government and non-government partners, communities and resource partners in the country, as well as all member countries, by assessing FAO’s contribution to Pakistan’s achievement of its development goals. It will also draw lessons and make recommendations for FAO’s future engagement in the country.

Egypt experienced instable political situation during the past years. As a result, its food security was heavily affected. FAO’s programme focused on sustainable agricultural development for food security and nutrition. Enhancing food security also requires addressing socio-economic aspects, particularly the role of women. With FAO support, the Law Governing Agricultural Cooperatives was reformed to revive its function, reducing the control of the government and collaborating with the private sector. This was critical for extending effective support to small farmers. Animal health and disease control was up-scaled to reduce the threat to the livelihoods. Wheat sector was reviewed, and the reforms will start with the local bread (Baladi) production. The 1.5 Million Feddan Programme, to which FAO provided policy advice, is shaping the agricultural development of the land. Throughout the country programme however, the role of women in food security was not sufficiently considered and the project design was not systematically gender-mainstreamed. In the future, FAO could focus more on policy advice and food-security reform initiatives.
