The high number of people facing acute food insecurity and requiring urgent food, nutrition and livelihoods assistance in a number of countries in Africa necessitated IRW to come up with the Global Hunger Prevention and Response Programme (GHPRP). This emergency programme aimed to address the hunger situations in the selected countries, and improve the lives of the beneficiaries. The purpose of this evaluation was to assess the overall performance with reference to the outcomes and outputs as well as draw lessons for future programmes, both at an individual project level as well as at an aggregate programmatic level where possible. The programme was implemented in Africa and covered eight countries – Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Niger, Mali and Madagascar.
