Evaluation of FAO’s Contribution to Bhutan

The Office of Evaluation (OED) of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is conducting a series of Country Programme Evaluations (CPEs) to better orient FAO’s programme to the specific needs of the country and make the best use of the FAO's comparative advantages. This evaluation covers FAO’s work between 2014 and 2017 in order to align with the start of the Country Programming Framework (CPF) for the Kingdom of Bhutan.

The evaluation assesses FAO’s contributions towards achieving the national development goals set out in Bhutan’s 11th Five Year Plan (FYP) 2013-2018, recognising the limitations of scale and attribution. It also considers the national priorities of the 12th FYP 2018-2023, which targets Bhutan to become a middle-income country soon.
