Evaluation of Senegal Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Country Strategic Plan 2019-2023

Cover page
The evaluation was commissioned by the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Office of Evaluation to provide evidence for accountability and learning to inform the design of the next county strategic plan (CSP) for Senegal.

The evaluation covered all Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ activities implemented between 2018 and July 2022 including Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s strategic positioning, its effectiveness in contributing to strategic outcomes, the efficiency of CSP implementation and factors explaining Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s performance. 

The evaluation concluded that:

  • The CSP was relevant to Senegal's context and Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ is highly valued as a partner by the Government and its partners. Some gaps exist in Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s strategic positioning, such as linkages with the national social protection programme, integration of activities, and inter-agency cooperation on resilience.
  • Operational effectiveness and efficiency varied across activities, with successful responses to COVID-19 and resilience, mixed results for cash transfers for lean season support, and malnutrition. More could be done to demonstrate Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s contribution to gender equality in Senegal. The shift to cash-based transfers was effective in reducing transfer costs.
  • In Senegal's stable context, sustainability is a priority, requiring more efforts on institutional capacity strengthening.
