Synopsis (short abstract) FAO’s support for agricultural and food value chain development has aimed at strengthening agricultural diversification in Barbados and member countries of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), but this work on value chains needs to be more market-oriented in order to succeed, says an evaluation report. Conducted by the FAO Office of Evaluation in 2015, the evaluation assessed FAO’s contributions in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

    This project was funded by the United States Agency for International Development with a total budget of USD 19 million. The project was initiated in September 2017 and completed in December 2021. The objective of this project was to promote inclusive growth and job creation in the agricultural sector. It aimed to achieve this by strengthening the capabilities of the producers and private enterprises and linking Afghan farmers to provincial, national and international markets. The evaluation found that the Project created an enabling environment that promoted active engagement between producers, processors, traders, input suppliers and markets. the participating private producers have reported sales of an estimated USD 54 million and generated approximately 650 full-time jobs, 46 per cent of them female, in the three years of its operation. This was 405 per cent above the Project’s target. The evaluation recommends FAO to develop clear protocols on how to sustain engagement with the private sector in Afghanistan and while supporting a commodity supply chain, some support needs to be directed to farmers to help improve quality standards and increase productivity to meet national and international market demands and standards.
