Management Response
The mid-term evaluation covers the Zambia Country Programme 200157 operation (2011-2015). It was intended for both accountability and learning and focuses on assessing: i) the appropriateness and coherence of the operation; ii) its results; and iii) the factors explaining the results. The evaluation assessed the following activities: school feeding; purchase for progress and support to local production; support to patients with HIV/AIDS, children under five, and pregnant and lactating women to improve food security; support to improve resilience and disaster recovery; and capacity development. The evaluation, which makes a number of recommendations for the future, was managed and conducted by a consultancy firm, with fieldwork taking place in May and June 2014.
