Synopsis (short abstract) The first five year National Programme for Food Security (NPFS) was launched in Nigeria in November 2001, in partnership with FAO. The objective of the NPFS is to foster the development of smallholder agriculture and income generation in rural areas, improve national food security, and reduce poverty on an economically and environmentally sustainable basis. In order to consolidate and expand on the results achieved during the first phase of the NPFS programme , the current project was launched. Its objectives were to strengthen the technical and organizational capacities of NPFS implementing agencies to deliver country wide comprehensive services, and to enhance decision making and productive capacities of beneficiary farmers, in order to support food insecure and poor households.

    Overall the Management of the National Special Programme for Food Security (NSPFS) is of the opinion that most of the recommendations listed in the evaluation report are valid and useful for programme planning. A number of the evaluation’s recommendations coincide with the recommendations made previously by the NSPFS Implementation Completion Review (ICR) which was carried out in 2007. These were taken into consideration in the planning of the National Programme for Food Security (NPFS) Expansio n Phase, given that the planning of the Expansion Phase took place prior to the Independent Evaluation. In this sense, the NPFS Management is already well on track with the implementation of the evaluation’s recommendations. A notable example is the increased effort to improve the M&E system and the currently ongoing work on establishing a programme baseline which will serve as a baseline for assessing programme impact.

    Improving food security for households in Afghanistan - GCP/AFG/072/LUX 2017
    Also available in:
    In spite of significant reconstruction efforts, Afghanistan remains ravaged by three decades of devastating war, natural disasters and population growth, which have contributed to rampant poverty and food insecurity. Although almost half of rural households own and cultivate some land and more than 64 percent own some sort of livestock or poultry, yields are far below the regional averages, while agricultural production is at the mercy of climatic conditions. The transformation of traditional subsistence production systems into a dynamic, modern agricultural sector depends on the widespread introduction and use of new knowledge, technologies and practices.
