The main purpose of this evaluation is to draw lessons from the implementation of the Country Programming Framework (CPF) 2018-2022 - the programming document defining the joint medium and long-term priorities identified by FAO and the Government of Mali, and to make recommendations for the development of the new programming cycle.
The current CPF covers the period 2018-2022 and aims to help build a Mali free from hunger and malnutrition. The priority areas of intervention of the programme are:
- Strengthening the resilience and social protection of populations vulnerable to food and nutritional insecurity
- Sustainable intensification, diversification of production and development of agro-sylvo-pastoral and fisheries value chains in Mali
- Support to public institutions in the rural sector for the implementation of national policies.
What does the assessment cover?
- The evaluation covers all of FAO's work in Mali during the period 2018-2022. Its purpose is to assess:
- The relevance of the FAO country programme
- The strategic positioning of the Organization in relation to other development actors
- FAO's contribution to the three CPF priority areas.
The assessment also aims to identify good practices, causes of successes and failures, and potential areas of work for the next CPF.
