The Corporate Emergency Evaluation (CEE) of WFP’s Response in Yemen mandated by the Office of Evaluation (OEV) served the dual objectives of accountability and learning. It provided accountability for results to WFP stakeholders, and generated evidence on WFP's performance in Yemen specifically to inform WFP's future engagement in the country and share good practices to promote broader learning on WFP's response to complex and protracted crisis.

The evaluation covered WFP strategies and interventions in Yemen between January 2019 and September 2024. While the main units of analysis of the evaluation were the ICSPs 2019-2022 and 2023-2025,the evaluation also assessed WFP's work in Yemen that was not explicitly captured in the ICSPs.

The evaluation assessed WFP contributions to CSP strategic outcomes, establishing plausible causal relations between the outputs of WFP activities, the implementation process, the operational environment, and changes observed at the outcome level, including any unintended consequences.

It will also focus on adherence to humanitarian principles, gender equality and wider equity considerations, protection and accountability to affected people.

This evaluation concerns eight projects funded by the EU which have been mainly delivered through the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence Initiative (CoE). The Initiative’s main objective is to strengthen the long-term capacity of, and to foster long lasting cooperation among the national and regional authorities, and administrative bodies responsible for tackling CBRN threats. The projects contribute to the same general objective to address specific global and trans-regional threats to peace, international security and stability, through enhancing governance and cooperation on CBRN risk prevention, detection and mitigation.

The primary aim of this evaluation is to provide the pertinent services of the European Union and other interested stakeholders with:

• A comprehensive independent assessment of the performance of selected actions (projects) carried out under the EU CBRN program. The evaluation focuses on measuring their results against the intended objectives and evaluating the sustainability of these outcomes beyond the projects duration.
• Identification of best practices at regional or national levels that have effectively amplified the impact of the actions. These practices can serve as models for replication or inspiration in other countries.
• Compilation of a set of deliverables such as guidelines, manuals, standard operating procedures, framework laws, and training modules to disseminate and replicate by partner countries in order to bolster their capacities in mitigating similar CBRN risks.

The humanitarian engagement aimed to deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance to high-risk populations and to increase polio vaccination coverage among children in priority areas in Afghanistan.

• Validated micro-plan settlements by re-creating the catchment areas of a sample of health facilities using satellite imagery;
• Conducted direct site observations, patient-provider observations at health facilities, and visited communities and households in project areas to monitor implementation status;

The "Learning2gether2" program continues Finland’s support to implementation of the New Ukrainian School (NUS) reform, focusing on the Upper Secondary School (USS) Academic reform (Grades 10-12) with a budget of up to 20 million EUROs over four years. The purpose of the appraisal was to assess the feasibility of the Programme as defined in the draft Programme Document (PD).

The key issues of the appraisal were the Programme’s relevance to beneficiaries and main stakeholders in Ukraine, feasibility of the proposed implementation strategy, organisational structures, TA support, work plans, resource allocations and budget, sustainability as well as the result orientation and likely effectiveness in Ukraine. An important question to verify was how the Programme fits into the NUS/USS reform and its different phases, and what its contribution to the reform is. The appraisal also assessed the integration of cross-cutting objectives into the programme plan. The appraisal also included the finalisation of the draft Programme Document.
