Synopsis (short abstract) Yemen is now home to the world’s worst humanitarian crisis with half of its population facing severe acute food insecurity despite ongoing humanitarian food assistance. To meet the demands for active learning, the FAO Office of Evaluation (OED) conducted a review of the FAO Yemen corporate surge response systems, structure, strategy and delivery. The review concluded that FAO has succeeded in supporting a significant number of beneficiaries with a wide range of projects. The operational capacity could be improved by improving local personnel management and development, in-country cash programming, and leveraging the knowledge of implementing partners in project design, targeting and monitoring. FAO needs to expand its footprint into the various sub-offices to take advantage of further localising its response. The review suggest to instigate strategic investments to boost and improve the response in Yemen, such as: improving the project planning and procurement capacity; increasing the capacity and inclusivity of implementing partners and beneficiaries in programme design and monitoring; and, improving strategic communications, evidence-based reporting and outcome monitoring.

    Lake Chad Basin crisis - Response strategy (2017-2019) 2017
    Also available in:
    In the past year, FAO scaled up its capacities and level of interventions to respond to the Lake Chad Basin crisis. In order to address food security and livelihoods-related needs on a larger scale and timeframe, the next relevant step is to provide FAO with a three year Resilience Strategy for the Lake Chad Basin – with focus on Northeast Nigeria. The document presents in a concise and comprehensive manner the impact of the crisis on food security and livelihoods in Niger, Nigeria, Cameroon and Chad. FAO’s twin-track approach is developed with emphasis on FAO’s strategic framework of intervention, including outcomes, outputs and cross-cutting priorities at the sub-regional level. Focus is also made on the country-specific plans of action.
