https://docs.wfp.org/api/documents/WFP-0000152829/download/
The evaluation was commissioned by WFP independent Office of Evaluation to provide evaluative evidence for accountability and learning to inform the design of the next country strategic plan (CSP) in Namibia.

It covers WFP activities implemented between 2019 and 2022 to assess results and the extent to which WFP Namibia was able to implement the strategic shift intended by the CSP.

The evaluation concluded that:

Overall, the CSP remained relevant and aligned to government priorities throughout the period under review and facilitated strategic thinking about partnerships and funding opportunities in a challenging funding environment. The CSP has delivered some significant benefits for the Government of Namibia, and ultimately affected populations, by contributing to building government capacity to developing the policy framework around food security and nutrition, social safety nets and Disaster Risk Management. WFP was also instrumental in integrating a food systems approach in government policies and piloted interventions to demonstrate them in practice.   Besides external factors, which are beyond the control of WFP, the performance was affected by a combination of internal factors related to limited financial and human resources, intervention design, M&E, and knowledge management, which affected the achievement of expected outcomes.
