The partnership between FAO and the Government of Gabon is guided by the Country Programming Framework (CPF) - the programming document defining the joint priorities in the medium and long term. The current CPF covers the period 2017-2022 and establishes three priority areas, namely:
- Strengthening institutional governance and national capacities
- Sustainable management of natural resources
- Development of sustainable value chains in agriculture, livestock, forestry, fishing and aquaculture.
The evaluation drew lessons from the implementation of the 2017-2022 Country Programme and to make recommendations for the development of the new programming cycle. The evaluation took advantage of opportunities to build national evaluation capacity, in line with the country's efforts to develop its national evaluation system.

- the relevance of the FAO country programme

- FAO's contribution to the three priority areas of the CPF
