Â鶹ÊÓƵ

The evaluation concluded that there was a strong case for Â鶹ÊÓƵ to continue to support China on its development journey with the aim of achieving a transition to a partnership extending beyond the term of the country strategic plan. Â鶹ÊÓƵ is providing relevant support as China shifts its focus from poverty alleviation to rural revitalization and common prosperity. Â鶹ÊÓƵ aligns its work with these goals through approaches that help to close the rural-urban income gap. It also supports local governments in identifying vulnerable populations and integrating them into national and provincial programmes.

The evaluation made five recommendations, which encourage Â鶹ÊÓƵ to: 

1. articulate a pathway by which Â鶹ÊÓƵ can transition to a relationship with China that goes beyond the term of the country strategic plan and is in line with China¡¯s post-2030 development agenda;
2. set out an ambitious strategy for growing the Â鶹ÊÓƵ¨CChina partnership to address zero hunger worldwide;
3. increase the duration and tighten the geographic focus of country strategic plan programmes in China and bring together successes from past pilot projects into a comprehensive package of support;
4. develop approaches for sustainable change towards gender equality and women¡¯s empowerment to address underlying imbalances and improve women¡¯s leadership, resources and finance; include people with disabilities in project design and integrate end-user feedback; and
5. invest in the capacity of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ country office in China to generate credible evidence as a basis for decision-making in relation to efforts to strengthen food security and nutrition in China and around the world.
