This report covers the baseline study for the World Food Programme's (WFP) McGovern-Dole School Feeding Project in Haiti (FFE-521-2023/005-00) for the period from 2024 to 2028. The project is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). The baseline study represents the first part of a series of evaluations that will include midline and end-of-project assessments. It was commissioned by the WFP Country Office (CO) in Haiti and carried out by the Konterra Group.

The baseline sets out the starting values of WFP’s McGovern-Dole programme in Haiti and a situational analysis of the baseline conditions.  

The key conclusions of the baseline report are:  

  1. The Nou Manje Pou Nou Aprann project is the third phase of WFP's support for school feeding in Haiti through the McGovern-Dole projects. It has been built on the experience of previous phases and introduces significant changes, notably with the gradual adoption of a hybrid school supply model that will combine imported foodstuffs donated by the USDA with foodstuffs purchased and produced locally. 
  2. The baseline study established the initial situation at the start of the project for all the elements included in the project's Performance Monitoring Plan. The project's performance can be assessed at midline and at the end of its implementation by comparing these elements with the initial situation, in particular regarding the trajectory of results in the schools covered by the project with results in the control schools. 
  3. The baseline study identified some areas requiring particular attention and lessons relating to these have been drawn. This particularly concerns the project's exit plan, ownership of the project by partners, certain specific activities, compensation for cooks and the project's PMP, some elements of which need to be clarified. As provided for in the Terms of Reference, proposals have been made to adjust the evaluation questions that will guide the midline and final evaluations to clarify, complete and improve their structure.
