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.

    For over two decades, the Democratic Republic of the Congo has suffered from a series of shocks – armed conflict, epidemic outbreaks and natural hazards – that have continued to increase humanitarian needs and people’s vulnerabilities. In order to provide livelihood support in 2019, FAO requires USD 50 million to support 1.8 million people.

    Evaluation of the project “Water for Peace in Yemen: Strengthening the role of women in water conflict resolution”
    Project code: UNJP/YEM/039/PBF

    The project ‘Water for Peace in Yemen: Strengthening the role of women in water conflict resolution’ was funded by the United Nations Secretary-General's Peacebuilding Fund (PBF). The project was implemented jointly by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Organization for Migration (IOM), the Hadramout Ministry of Water and Environment, and the Women Water Users Groups (WWUG). The ‘Water for Peace in Yemen’ project aimed at contributing to the mitigation of water-based conflicts that have affected agriculture, with the inclusion of women as conflict-resolution agents. Farming communities (men, women and youth) were engaged by the project to resolve local conflicts over upstream and downstream water allocation. Moreover, the project aimed to introduce drought-tolerant as well as salt-tolerant crops as a climate change mitigation measure in a cash-for-work (CFW) modality. The evaluation found that the project's main achievements were the institutionalization of this role through the water user associations (WUAs) and strengthening the role of women within their communities.

    There are numerous risks to the sustainability and stability of Indonesia’s farming system, food production system, supply chains, and ecosystems. The evaluation aims to answer two essential questions: whether FAO is doing what is needed and whether it is making a difference.This evaluation recommends that FAO support the green and blue (land and sea) preparedness and adaptation plans, as well as early warning systems. The evaluation further recommends that FAO ramp up its support for a national decision support system that adopts a food systems approach to provide policymakers with the best analytical evidence and data available to guide new public policies and regulations.Many of the conclusions and recommendations call for policy and regulatory reform. The evaluation recommends that FAO work with Indonesia to establish innovative data management systems, new analysis methods, and analytical tools on agriculture including fisheries and forestry.
