This independent evaluation of WFP Country Strategic Plan in Bolivia assessed the strategic positionning, added-value and results of WFP operations in the Country from 2018 to 2021.
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 is envisioned that the evaluation will inform the design of the new CSP for Bolivia, which is scheduled for Executive Board consideration in November 2022.
CSP key sectors and activities included:

• Emergency preparedness (incl. early warning systems) and response (including food for assets/

cash-based transfers)

• Nutrition (including nutritional education) and social protection
• Smallholder farmer support (including market support, training, and links with school feeding)
• Institutional capacity strengthening

Cross-cutting themes include: Gender equality and empowerment of women (GEEW), humanitarian
principles and protection, accountability to affected populations (AAP), WFP partnership strategy
The evaluation employed a mixed-method approach that triangulated qualitative and
quantitative from a variety of sources. For this purpose, the evaluation team conducted interviews with different stakeholders including WFP staff at HQ, regional and country level, WFP cooperation partners, ministries as well as focus group discussions with the beneficiaries.
