Côte d'Ivoire, McGovern-Dole Food for Education and Child Nutrition (2021-2026): Evaluations

The purpose of the mid-term evaluation of the second phase of the program was to critically and objectively review and take lessons of this programme implementation within the environment of Côte d'Ivoire in order to assess whether the targeted beneficiaries are receiving services as expected, and whether the project is on track to achieve its stated goals and objectives. This decentralized evaluation focused on accountability and learning with an emphasis on the learning component and evidence generation needs.

The previous baseline study for the second phase of the program was conducted concurrently with the endline evaluation of phase I, drawing on the same data set and indicators. The baseline study provided program benchmarks for the period from 2021 to 2026. The data collection, analysis, reporting, and dissemination for this evaluation took place from November 2021 to September 2022, with fieldwork taking place in November and December 2021.
