This evaluation exercise examined the strategic relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, coherence and sustainability of WFP interventions under the CSP, as well as their interdependence and coverage. It responded to four overarching evaluation questions developed in the evaluation matrix and four cross-cutting dimensions: gender equality and women's empowerment, protection, accountability to affected populations (AAP), and climate change.
The evaluation team used mixed methods to answer the evaluation questions and tested the a reconstructed Theory of Change using contribution analysis . Information was collected, triangulated, and analysed using different qualitative methods such as documentary review, semi-structured key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation during field visits. Quantitative methods drew on primary and secondary data.
In-person and remote data collection took place from June to November, with a four-week field visit in October, organised to capture the widest possible range of WFP activities. The team held meetings in the capital N'Djamena with government institutions, UN actors, national and international NGOs, and civil society and private sector organizations. Consultations were also held with field office staff, operating partners and beneficiaries in the following regions and sub-offices:

In line with global and African aquaculture, the sector is growing in importance in East Africa, with promising long-term potential for contributing to food security and economic opportunities for value chain actors. The overall objective of the project (EU-EAC TRUE-FISH) of which this contract is a part, is to contribute to the development of competitive, gender equitable and sustainable commercial aquaculture in the Lake Victoria basin.
The purpose of this contract is to improve access to commercial networks for aquaculture-related businesses. This contract aims to stimulate a more competitive regional aquaculture industry in East Africa - focusing particularly on Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda - through supporting the development of stronger business links between regional and with international commercial aquaculture related businesses and strengthening trade and investment support services, thereby fostering improved productivity and use of technology, improved technical and commercial practices as well as facilitating investment and business scale-up.
The following results are to be achieved:
13/05/21 - 30/06/22
06/05/21 - 01/01/22
The elimination of animal diseases as well as the general improvement of animal health in the northern part of Cyprus remain a priority for the Turkish Cypriot administrative bodies. Brucellosis causes a necrotic and inflammatory infection in humans and animals, and is among the world’s most common zoonotic diseases. Brucellosis (in both animals and humans) is a notifiable disease in the Turkish Cypriot community, as animal husbandry is particularly common in that area. In cattle, tuberculosis is caused by persistent infection with the bacterium Mycobacterium Bovis. Enzootic bovine leukosis is a disease of cattle caused by the bovine leukaemia virus.
The control and eradication of Bovine Brucellosis, Ovine and Caprine Brucellosis, Bovine Tuberculosis and Enzootic Bovine Leucosis is an internationally applied condition for public health as well as a crucial requirement for the trade of products of animal origin. It is in that context that the EU (DG REFORM) is requesting further Technical input and analysis in the area of animal health in the northern part of Cyprus (Turkish).
The overall objective of this project is thus to promote the rural and economic development of the Turkish Cypriot community. Specifically, this assignment aims to:

The Sudan CSP (2019-2022) centres around five Strategic Outcomes focusing on emergency response, nutrition, resilience, service provision and social protection, and has an overall budget USD 2.69 billion (as of February 2021). It also seeks to operationalise the humanitarian-development-peace nexus and takes into account national food and nutrition security objectives.
A Landell Mills team of four international and two national consultants conducted this independent evaluation in partnership with a Sudanese NGO (that provided state-level data collection and analysis). The evaluation assessed:
- the relevance of the CSP to; humanitarian needs in Sudan, national priorities and WFP’s comparative advantages;
- the effectiveness of the CSP in contributing to intended outcomes in emergency response, food security/nutrition, resilience, service provision to the government and humanitarian development community, and social protection;
- the extent to which WFP has used resources in a timely, appropriate, efficient, and effective manner when implementing the CSP; and
- the extent to which WFP performance can be explained by the transition to Country Strategic Planning or by other internal and external factors.

The overall objective of the project to be evaluated (SPSP IV-2016-2020)) is to contribute to sustainable and inclusive growth, eradicate poverty and improve sector governance through the implementation of the Fifth Road Sector Development Program (RSDP V).
Systematic and timely evaluation of its programmes and activities is an established priority7 of the European Commission. The focus of evaluations is on the assessment of achievements, the quality and the results of Budget Support programmes in the context of an evolving cooperation policy with an increasing emphasis on result-oriented approaches and the contribution towards the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
From this perspective, evaluations should look for evidence of why, whether or how these results are linked to the EU intervention and seek to identify the factors driving or hindering progress.

In a situation where the national economy is losing momentum, and due to the lack of knowledge on good nutritional practices, food and nutrition insecurity continue to reach critical levels, with an average rate of 58% of chronic malnutrition, while the critical threshold as deemed by the World Health Organization (WHO) is 40%; in some remote provinces it is well over 75%.
Food security is mainly linked to the production of two growing seasons, the intensification of which most often requires access to inputs and advisory and financing services for agricultural campaigns. Moreover, since Burundian agriculture is overwhelmingly rain-fed, the rainfall pattern impacts highly on agricultural production. Climate-related weather patterns have upset the balance, leading to more severe lean seasons. At the same time, the lack of economic opportunities for rural households and high food prices on the market are a problem for food accessibility for rural households.
In 2020, natural disasters, the mass return of Burundian refugees and the socio-economic impact of Covid-19, combined with pre-existing weak infrastructure and lack of basic social services and resilience mechanisms, have increased the difficulties and problems of the national health system. In addition, in 2018, a woman in Burundi gave birth to 5.5 children on average, which is one of the highest fertility rates in the world. Only 23 per cent of the population uses modern methods of contraception and family planning. Population growth is also bringing the school and health system to the limits of its capabilities.
In addition, gender-based violence against women and girls is widespread and the socio-cultural context prevents positive approaches to themes such as sex education and family planning. In light of this situation, the Burundian government has declared that it wants to stem population growth and improve the sexual and reproductive health of the population and has therefore made these two objectives a national priority. Similarly, rights associated with Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) must be respected.
The health sector is working to reduce morbidity and mortality from epidemics by strengthening case management and surveillance, risk communication, immunization campaigns and the deployment of mobile clinics to meet the needs of vulnerable populations. Partners contribute to better access to a minimum package of health services through the training of health personnel. Particular attention is paid to emergency obstetric care and medical and psychological care for victims of gender-based violence.
It is in this general context that the first multisectoral program "Support for the Resilience of the Populations of Burundi", 2018-2022, which included three specific objectives and contributions, was launched: (i) the sustainable reduction of food insecurity and malnutrition by improving agricultural production, (ii) improved access to health services, sexual and reproductive health and a response to the specific needs of populations in crisis situations, and (iii) improved access to a renewable energy source for the poorest populations.
The objective of this mission and the second phase of this programme is to provide support to the Delegation of the European Union in Burundi in the identification and formulation of the new program aimed at the resilience of vulnerable populations in the fields of rural development and health, following but especially taking into account the lessons of the multisectoral program "Resilience" over the period 2018-2022.
