The country portfolio evaluation of WFP activities in the Congo covers the period from 2009 to 2012. The evaluation serves the dual purpose of facilitating accountability and learning and focuses on three evaluation questions relating to: i) portfolio alignment and strategic positioning; ii) factors that have driven WFP’s strategic decision-making; and iii) performance and results. This portfolio evaluation is of particular relevance as it concerns a middle-income country and comes at a time when a new country strategy document and country programme are being prepared.
