This independant evaluation of WFP Country Strategic Plan in Madagascar assessed the strategic positionning, added-value and results of WFP operations in the Country from 2019 to 2022.
The evaluation served the double purpose of accountability (performance and result assessment) and learning (why certain results occurred or not, lessons and evidence for decision-making about a potential scale-up). It was envisioned that the evaluation was to inform the design of the new CSP for Madagascar, which was scheduled for Executive Board consideration in November 2023.

The objective of the contract was the identification, development, implementation and monitoring of a trade facilitation project in Senegal. The project developed was titled “Automation of the Import Process for Agro-Industrial Products”. The project focused on the digitalisation and automation of parts of the import process for pilot agroindustrial products with the aim to reduce the time and costs involved in importing these products. It also included technical support to the DPV (Direction de la Protection des Végétaux) for the implementation of an "E-Payment" solution in line with the digitalisation process set up by the DPV through the implementation of the ePhyto project, which aims to digitize the phytosanitary certificate as well as the payment of services rendered by this department.
The project ultimately aimed to contribute to improving trade and investment conditions for African and European companies in Senegal, in the agro-industrial sector.

The project’s Terms of Reference established the overall objective to strengthen the health of populations, to reduce environmental degradation and to boost resilience of vulnerable populations affected by the Aral Sea disaster.

The FEMIP Trust Fund, launched in 2004, was set up to provide support to critical projects and more generally the economic development of the EU’s Southern Neighbourhood. The evaluation supported the Assembly of Donors’ decision on the future of the Fund with solid evidence on the Fund’s performance and ongoing relevance, including in light of other similar instruments currently available.

This Transaction Technical Assistance (TRTA) was provided to assist the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and the Department of Higher Education, Research, Science and Technology (DHERST) to

• Design and prepare a project that will address key TVET challenges able to respond to labour market needs,
• Assess the technical suitability, economic, financial and social viability, capacity and institutional issues, gender issues and proposed actions, address environmental and social safeguards of the project; and
• Identify and implement selected measures to improve project implementation capacity of DHERST and other relevant government agencies.

The TA designed, undertook due diligence and prepared project documentation for the ensuing TVET for Employment project. The TA also assisted in building the capacity of the government during their assignment, including implementing project management trainings and coaching as required.

The main objectives of this evaluation are to provide the relevant services of the European Union and the
interested stakeholders with:
