The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ policy on South-South and Triangular Cooperation (SSTC) issued in 2015, has been evaluated in the sixth year of implementation, in line with the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Evaluation Policy 2016-2021.
The evaluation was commissioned by the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ independent Office of Evaluation to provide evaluative evidence for accountability and learning to inform the design of the next Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Country Strategic Plan (CSP) in Lao PDR.
This decentralized evaluation was commissioned by the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Malawi Country Office and covers the Food Assistance for Assets (FFA) intervention for the period 2015-2019. Data collection took place from 16th March to 2nd April 2021.

The evaluation was commissioned by the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ independent Office of Evaluation to provide evaluative evidence for accountability and learning to inform the design of the next Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ CSP in China. It covers Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ activities from 2017 to 2020.
The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD) and the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ (Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ) are the three Rome-Based Agencies (RBAs) of the United Nations. Since 2008, there have been growing calls, mainly by Member States (through the Governing Bodies and by individual governments), for RBA collaboration (RBAC) to be intensified and?optimized.
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has been overcoming incredible challenges resultant from widespread poverty due to unemployment, high inequality, weak governance, which has been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic and the related restrictive measures, to meet the food security requirements of targeted populations. This factsheet outlines Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s key achievements in Eswatini in 2020.
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 Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ (Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ) 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 Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ supports SF programmes in different capacities: Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Nepal, Philippines and Sri Lanka.
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ is implementing a nationwide school feeding project to ensure children have access to nutritionally-balanced meals by installing solar systems in 5 schools to power cooking, agriculture, and heating. In addition, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ is addressing lighting needs along with stimulating the growth of local businesses.
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ established the ¡°Berd cooperative¡± aggregating local farmers into a formal partnership to develop sustainable and nutrition-sensitive food value chains by strengthening farmers¡¯ economic capacity to grow and preserve food, through the use of solar energy.
Climate change is a long-term threat to food security and nutrition. By 2050, the risk of hunger and malnutrition could rise by 20 percent if the global community fails to act now to mitigate and prevent the adverse effects of climate change. The majority of child deaths expected to occur as a result of climate change will be driven by undernutrition. Co-developed by the Nutrition and Climate Change Divisions, this brief provides an overview on the links between climate change and nutrition and why Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ should take action now to mitigate and prevent the adverse effects.
The climate crisis is one of the main drivers of global hunger. Anticipatory action is critical in saving lives and livelihoods, and helping communities adapt. This brochure outlines Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s work on forecast-based financing in East Africa.
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has been overcoming incredible challenges resultant from widespread poverty due to poor economic growth and climate shocks, which have been compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic and the related restrictive measures, to meet the food security requirements of targeted populations. This factsheet outlines Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s key achievements in Zimbabwe in 2020.
