Â鶹ÊÓƵ

It covered activities implemented from 2019-July 2022, as well as the CSP design period during the T-ICSP in 2018. It examined the relevance of Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s strategic positioning, its contribution to outcomes, including on cross-cutting priorities, its efficiency and the factors explaining performance.

Overall, the evaluation found that Â鶹ÊÓƵ assistance under the CSP showed good performance in terms of achieving intended changes at outcome level. While school feeding is still seen as Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s main contribution, Â鶹ÊÓƵ successfully responded to the request for providing support to agriculture value chains when this was raised as a national priority. However, the CSP¡¯s engagement in disaster risk management was not as impactful as hoped.

The evaluation found good collaboration between Â鶹ÊÓƵ and other United Nations agencies, though with most activities unilaterally implemented. Channelling Â鶹ÊÓƵ assistance through the Government and ensuring economic procurement was cost efficient. However, resource mobilization challenges remain, particularly as Bhutan approaches middle-income status by the end of 2023.
