Review of FAO Philippines Country Programming Framework 2018-2024
The main purpose of this review was to assess FAO’s contributions in the Philippines from 2018 to 2024 and inform future strategic planning.
The review covered various aspects of FAO's work, including Anticipatory Action (AA), nutrition, gender integration through collaboration with the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA), and leveraging partnerships.
Key findings include analyses about FAO's role in strengthening the country's capacities in AA, the identification of a gap in addressing nutrition within project designs, despite its strategic importance in the Country Programming Framework, lessons from the FAO-UNFPA collaboration to integrate gender considerations and improve collaboration at project design stage and identification of beneficiaries, and the recognition of FAO's position as a trusted partner in convening stakeholders and providing technical assistance in the country.
The review is intended to guide FAO and its partners, including the Department of Agriculture and the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao government, in enhancing programme effectiveness and achieving sustainable development goals in the Philippines.
