Â鶹ÊÓƵ

It covers Â鶹ÊÓƵ activities implemented between 2018 and September 2022.

The evaluation assessed Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s strategic positioning and role and the extent to which Â鶹ÊÓƵ has made the strategic shift expected by the CSP; Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s contributions to strategic outcomes; efficiency and factors that explain Â鶹ÊÓƵ performance.

The evaluation concluded that:

• Overall, Â鶹ÊÓƵ made progress in Ghana in shifting from delivering assistance to enabling national capacities. It demonstrated how market-based approaches to strengthening food systems can improve nutrition.
• The CSP supported the Government in addressing food security and nutrition needs of vulnerable populations. However, its intervention logic could have better linked community-level activities with capacity strengthening and policy coherence interventions.
• The CSP remained relevant to needs throughout and adapted well to COVID-19. However, it did not adequately address capacity gaps for crisis preparedness, community resilience, and the humanitarian-development-peace nexus.
• The shift to an enabler role was hampered by lack of a clear management plan and by limited funding for capacity strengthening and policy coherence interventions.
• Gender equality and protection were integrated successfully, but affected populations were not consistently consulted.
• Partnerships with Government and private sector were crucial, but collaboration with UN agencies was limited
