The evaluation covers the Zimbabwe PRRO 200453 “Responding to Humanitarian Needs and Strengthening Resilience to Food Insecurity”.
It was intended for both accountability and learning purposes and focuses on assessing: i) the appropriateness and coherence of the operation; ii) its results; and iii) the factors explaining the results.
The evaluation assessed the following activities: Seasonal unconditional targeted assistance, food and cash for assets, treatment of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM) among pregnant and lactating women, ART/TB patients and children 6-59 months, support to households hosting malnourished HIV/TB clients and a pilot school feeding project.
The evaluation, which makes a number of recommendations for the future, was managed and conducted by a consultancy firm, with fieldwork taking place in May 2014.
