The mid-term evaluation of the project "Boosting Rural and Rurban Economy in Times of Crisis and Beyond" (BOOST) was commissioned by WFP Nicaragua. BOOST is expected to run from 2018 to 2024 and aims to promote sustainable and resilient agri-food systems in five departments and one autonomous region of Nicaragua. The European Union is the main donor of the project.
The evaluation provided an independent assessment of all project activities in the first three years of BOOST (August 2018 to June 2021). It adopted a theory-based mixed methods approach. Data were collected remotely and during a two-week field mission, including interviews at national and local levels, focus group discussions with beneficiaries, field visits, a comprehensive document review, and analysis of existing M&E data.
In addition to the evaluation report, Particip produced a short video for dissemination purposes.

The purpose of this evaluation was the assessment of both budget support and blending operations of the EU in the Kyrgyz Republic between 2010 and 2019. The EU has implemented ten budget support programmes in the country. The EU is using blending as financing modality in Kyrgyzstan since 2011. Almost 40% of the total portfolio of funds managed by the EU Delegation to the Kyrgyz Republic is channelled through the blending instrument. Furthermore, Kyrgyzstan is the main beneficiary of the IFCA funds, with a 75% of these funds going to this country.
This evaluation entailed two components. First, it provided an assessment of EU budget support in the country applying the 3-Step approach of the OECD-DAC guidelines on the evaluation of budget support. Second, the evaluation focused on EU blending operations in Kyrgyzstan’s Energy and Water management sectors.

This pilot evaluation was commissioned by the WFP Regional Bureau of Nairobi (in cooperation with WFP Rwanda and the Farm to Market Alliance) and assessed the introduction of an innovative food safety technology for aflatoxin reduction in the Rwanda maize value chain. The direct users of the technology were agro-processors and traders that sourced maize from smallholder cooperatives. By solving the aflatoxin problem in maize, the pilot sought to connect smallholder farmers with premium buyers of domestically produced maize.
The evaluation covered the pilot period from October to December 2021 and served the double purpose of accountability and learning (with emphasis on the latter). The evaluation team used a range of qualitative and quantitative tools and data, including a large-scale field survey of smallholder farmers and qualitative primary data collected in the South of Rwanda. The analysis addressed the standard international evaluation criteria and mainstreamed gender throughout.
