Synopsis (short abstract) The EAHMI team found the independent External Evaluation (EE) very useful as this provides a third party mechanism in evaluating the project. The independence from the project, (none of the members are involved in project implementation nor have been previously connected with EAHMI) gives credibility to the evaluation report. The EE is very useful in identifying the strengths and achievement of the project and in articulating areas for further improvement. EE’s list of recommendations becomes ev en more relevant in future project extension and expansion as in the case of EAHMI.

This report presents the findings of the external evaluation of FAO project GCP/PHI/050/ITA, titled Environmental Animal Health to Redress Emerging Insectborne and Other Disease Constraints to Smallholders’ Livestock Production. The project is widely known as the ‘Environmental Animal Health Initiative’ (EAHMI). The project started in September 2005 with a planned duration of three years. However, recruitment of key project team members delayed the actual start of implementation giving the proje ct an effective life of nearer two years at the time of the external evaluation mission’s field work in April, 2008. The end date (NTE) of the project is 31-Aug-08. Thus, the evaluation took place towards the end of the project.

Final Evaluation of the Project for Building Resilience and Self-reliance of Livestock Keepers by Improving Control of Foot-and-Mouth Disease and other Transboundary Animal Diseases in Afghanistan - Annex 1. Terms of Reference

Livestock play an important role in Afghanistan, boosting nutrition and providing livelihoods. Outbreaks of animal diseases such as Foot-and-Mouth Disease (FMD) and peste des petits ruminants (PPR) are a constant threat to improving nutrition and farmer incomes. The Project ‘Building resilience and self-reliance of livestock keepers by improving control of FMD and other Transboundary Animal Diseases (TADs)’ aimed at providing assistance at central, province, and community level, in strengthening food security through an improved on-farm livestock healthcare system. The evaluation found there was good progress in improving animal health and disease control. The Project exceeded original vaccination targets, owing to a close collaboration with the private sector and non-governmental organizations. Epidemiology skills were improved in the country but remain limited while analytical skills remain a critical need and there is a continuing need for better capture of outbreak and disease surveillance data. The major weakness of the Project was the lack of sustainability with no clear exit plan. The evaluation recommends that there be an immediate follow-up project.
