This decentralized evaluation was commissioned by Â鶹ÊÓƵ Nepal Country Office and covers the endline evaluation of the 4th cycle of the USDA McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program covering the fiscal years 2020-2024.
This summary of evaluation evidence focuses on local and regional procurement (LRP) components under the USDA McGovern-Dole school meals programs in five countries, specifically Cambodia, Kenya, Laos, Nepal and Rwanda.
This decentralized activity evaluation was commissioned by the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Nepal country office as the baseline study of the School Meals project under the McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition program funded by the United States Department of Agriculture under the Fiscal Year (FY) 2023 grant cycle.
This paper was developed collaboratively with the Â鶹ÊÓƵ¡¯s Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific based in Bangkok (RBB) between July 2022 and May 2023. The paper responds to a desire by Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) to strengthen disability inclusion across its school-based feeding programmes. To date, disability inclusive school-based feeding programmes have been extremely limited in number and in scope, both within and external to Â鶹ÊÓƵ. This means that the evidence base for what works is not extensive. This paper aims to address that gap, informed by data collected from interviews with selected Â鶹ÊÓƵ staff in the region; desk research focusing on Lao People¡¯s Democratic Republic (PDR) and Nepal; and qualitative research with external stakeholders in Lao PDR (in November 2022) and Nepal (in April 2023). Where available, this paper draws on examples observed during field visits to both Lao PDR and Nepal
This decentralized evaluation is the Mid-Term evaluation (MTE) of the Fiscal Year 20 (FY20) of the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) McGovern-Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition Program 2020-2024. It was carried out in 2023. The project area lies in Jajarkot of Karnali Province and Doti, Achham, Bajhang, Darchula, and Bajura of Sudurpaschim province of Nepal.
This decentralized evaluation was?commissioned by the?Â鶹ÊÓƵ Nepal Country Office?and covers the Baseline Study of USDA McGovern Dole International Food for Education and Child Nutrition (FFECN) Programme in Nepal Fiscal Year 20 (2020-2024). It was carried out between August 2021 and March 2022.
Prior to COVID-19, close to 129 million children in the Asia and the Pacific region received school meals, primarily through government-led, national school feeding programmes. Due to COVID-19 school closures, many of these children stopped receiving on-site school meals. Although some countries introduced alternative solutions, school-age children are expected to have been negatively affected by this disruption. Against this backdrop, the Â鶹ÊÓƵ (Â鶹ÊÓƵ) Regional Bureau for Asia and the Pacific (RBB) commissioned Oxford Policy Management to undertake a review of adaptations to on-site SF in order to inform policymaking and programming in the context of the new reality. This research sought to answer the key research question through an emphasis on gathering data primarily from six countries in the region where Â鶹ÊÓƵ supports SF programmes in different capacities: Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Nepal, Philippines and Sri Lanka.
