With support from the Flemish Government, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Malawi has led the Integrated Risk Management Programme (IRMP), which is a three-year project (2017-2019) implemented in three districts of the southern region of Malawi to reduce food, nutrition and income insecurity among vulnerable smallholder households in the context of increasing climatic risks and climate variability.
This Strategic Evaluation was commissioned by the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Office of Evaluation. It assessed the quality and results of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s efforts between 2014 and 2019 to secure adequate and appropriate funding to contribute towards zero hunger; and determine the reasons why Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has or has not been able to fund its work in order to draw lessons. All types of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ funding and resourcing were included in the scope of the evaluation for all areas of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s work, including through internal allocation.
This decentralized evaluation was jointly commissioned by the Ministry of Education Science and Technology (MoEST); Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ; United Nations Population Fund and United Nations Children¡¯s Fund and covers the Joint Programme for Girls Education Phase 1(JPGE I) with financial support from the Norwegian Government (July 2014 ¨C October 2017). The evaluation was carried out in 2018.
The strategic evaluation provides a formative and forward-looking assessment of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s support for enhanced resilience. Its purpose is predominantly to promote learning to inform resilience programming across Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ.
