    Evaluation report
    Evaluation of FAO’s contribution to the Smallholder Commercialisation Programme and to the Global Agriculture and Food Security Programme in Sierra Leone
    Project code: UTF/SIL/038/SIL

    The Smallholder Commercialization Program (SCP) in Sierra Leone aims to empower rural communities to increase their food security and income on a sustainable basis. The evaluation covered FAO’s contribution to the SCP between 2012 and 2018. FAO’s contribution focused on intensifying production through the implementation of farmer field schools (FFSs), improving commercialisation by supporting the agricultural business centres (ABCs) and enhancing technical capacity of district agricultural offices and the SCP/Global Agriculture and Food Security Programme (GAFSP) Programme Management Unit at central level. The FFS approach was successful in transferring knowledge to farmers and national ownership of the approach is strong. Whilst the ABCs model is highly relevant to the Sierra Leone context and has proven to be effective, support is still required in order for it to become sustainable. In particular, there is a need to further strengthen their governance structure and marketing and business approach, and to increase their access to financial services. The model of combined support to ABCs, FFSs and farmer-based organisations (FBOs) has been recognized as effective for delivering extension services and supporting smallholder commercialisation in Sierra Leone and adopted by other development partners.

    Evaluation of FAO Cooperation in Sierra Leone 2001 – 2006. Final Report Vol I: Main Report

    Did FAO cooperation perform well in Sierra Leone between 2001 and 2006? The question is not an easy one to answer, and yet the overall effectiveness of development cooperation is an issue of increasing concern. While individual projects and programmes generally have specific objectives that include indicators at the different levels, this is not the case with FAO cooperation in a particular country. All that has been formulated is the expectation that the Organisation will contribute to achievin g the MDGs, i.e. that it must be judged with regard to relevance and effectiveness (development impact).

    In March 2020, a regional inception workshop was held in Ghana a project of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (Norad) entitled Enhancing the contribution of small-scale fisheries to food security and sustainable livelihoods through better policies, strategies and initiatives. This is the report from the workshop. The project promotes the application of the principles of the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (the SSF Guidelines) in FAO member countries and regions. The project end date was originally in December 2019 but was extended for another year into 2020 to focus on the issue of empowering women in fisheries for sustainable food systems. Accordingly, the project will support women in small-scale fisheries, particularly in the postharvest sector, with a view to improving food security and nutrition and promoting gender equality. In 2020, related activities will begin in Ghana, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania. The project will also support sharing lessons learned and good practices, and it will help to strengthen institutional structures at the regional and global levels.

    Integrating forest and landscape restoration into national forest monitoring systems 2021
    Also available in:
    This document, based on the Voluntary Guidelines on national forest monitoring (VGNFM), provides a series of good practices organised into sixteen steps to facilitate the integration of the monitoring process to officers responsible for forest and landscape restoration (FLR) and the national forest monitoring system (NFMS). An inter-institutional work is proposed with key stakeholders to discuss the new information needs according to the approach and modalities of FLR implementation. Based on these needs, indicators, metrics, and monitoring attributes are organised.
