The evaluation found that positive results were achieved under all activities of the country strategic plan in terms of the quality of WFP’s assistance, and WFP’s performance in delivering outputs under the country strategic plan activities was strong, particularly with regard to expanding emergency assistance during the scale-up. However, outcome indicator achievements were not consistent over time and across the many different operating environments in the country.
The evaluation made five recommendations for WFP: continue to refine and better document geographic and household prioritization for emergency response as well as the selection of transfer modalities; work on the integration of and transition between the emergency and resilience aspects of the country strategic plan on the basis of an approach that outlines WFP’s comparative advantages; reinforce the management and use of data from various sources for programmatic decision-making; strengthen partnerships with implementing partners with a view to supporting localization; and clarify its position as a service provider to the humanitarian community as well as its coordination roles.
