Final evaluation of 2 projects to strengthen social cohesion between displaced populations and host communities in Burkina Faso and Niger (WFP)

The overall objectives of this evaluation are twofold:
  • To provide the relevant services of the European Union and interested stakeholders with an independent overall assessment of the performance of the 2 projects, paying particular attention to its different levels of results measured against its intended objectives and the reasons behind these results; and
  • Identify key lessons learned, conclusions and associated recommendations to inform decision-makers on how to improve future interventions.
The specific objectives of this evaluation are:
  • To understand the performance of these interventions in strengthening social cohesion, their determining factors and those that hindered the achievement of results, so as to modify their design or implementation modalities and serve as a basis for planning future EU interventions in the same sector.
  • To analyse whether and how these interventions have helped to operationalise the HDP Nexus in innovative ways for the benefit of beneficiary communities.
  • To inform decision-making on the relevance and thematic priorities of a second phase of these interventions.
  • To explore the follow-up questions proposed in the IFPRI study, ‘Sahel Social Cohesion Research in Burkina Faso and Niger’
    • Deepen understanding of issues of intra- and inter-community equity and distributive justice.
    • Assess the role of extrinsic versus intrinsic community motivation
    • Identify key FFA activities that promote social cohesion
