Strategic evaluation of the effectiveness of WFP livelihoods recovery interventions

By Laura Wilkinson, Cynthia Burton
March 2009

This evaluation examines the relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability of WFP’s support to people’s recovery of their livelihoods after disasters. The objectives of this evaluation were to assess how far WFP interventions are meeting their stated and implicit recovery and livelihoods objectives and to encourage learning for WFP to improve its recovery related programming. It considers both EMOPs and PRROs and all food assistance activities. Relief activities as well as those with explicit recovery objectives may have an impact on restoring livelihoods in recovery contexts. The intended audience for the evaluation are WFP staff, executive board members, cooperating partners who play a critical role in delivering recovery interventions and UN agencies, NGOs and governments engaged in recovery programming, with links to WFP’s work.
