BookletEvaluation of FAO’s country programme in Rwanda, 2019–2023 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The independent evaluation of the FAO Rwanda Country Programming Framework (CPF) 2019–2023 assesses FAO's contributions to Rwanda's agriculture sector, focusing on aligning with national and global agricultural development goals. The evaluation covered 12 districts and 18 project sites.FAO aimed to support Rwanda's transition to a high-income, knowledge-based economy by addressing agricultural challenges, including nutrition emergencies and climate shocks. The "four betters" approach was introduced to improve coordination and results. Key achievements included enhancing agricultural practices, increasing market access, promoting women's empowerment, and creating youth employment opportunities.While FAO’s CPF aligned with Rwanda’s goals, it lacked strategic focus and had weak design elements like vague outcomes and poor tracking. Recommendations include a more targeted approach, improved partnerships beyond the agricultural ministry, and stronger gender and inclusivity measures. FAO should refine its strategy for the next CPF with clear goals, risk analysis, and better resource mobilization. -
BookletEvaluation of the project “Integrated Country Approach for boosting decent jobs for youth in the agrifood system” Phase III (2019–2023)
Project code: GCP/INT/335/MUL
2024Also available in:
No results found.The evaluation highlights the project's strong alignment with national priorities and FAO objectives, effectively addressing the needs of youth organizations and rural youth. It successfully enhanced the capacity of youth in agrifood systems, including agricultural production, digital and financial literacy, and marketing. While progress was made in developing agricultural value chains, further improvement is needed by adopting a strategic market systems approach. The ICA project fostered multistakeholder engagement, strengthening sustainability through national collaboration. However, challenges remain, particularly in access to finance for young agripreneurs and the need for tailored interventions to support diverse youth needs. The evaluation recommends: i) Adopting a strategic market systems approach for sustained systemic change; ii) Continuing a holistic, multi-stakeholder approach to provide comprehensive support to youth; iii) Implementing a two-stage targeting strategy, starting with youth structures and then focusing on individuals, ensuring inclusion of vulnerable groups; iv) Developing an exit strategy that ensures long-term sustainability in countries not continuing in future project phases; v) Establishing a comprehensive results framework and monitoring system for all ICA country projects. -
Book (series)Evaluation of FAO's country programme in the Sudan (2017–2021) 2023
Also available in:
No results found.As a result of the current crisis in the Sudan, growth has slowed down and food insecurity has become more severe. Developing a sustainable agricultural sector is a way of enhancing food security and reducing poverty in the country. As a specialized agency, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) can assist the government in providing policy advice and implementing programmes that contribute to food and nutrition security. According to the evaluation, FAO's programme has provided critical technical support at the sector level, particularly in the area of food security and livelihoods, as well as bridging the gap between its emergency and development interventions. However, it did not have the opportunity to provide policy advice and to engage strategically.
