In 2017, in response to the one of the world’s worst manmade crises, a consortium of CARE and Action Contre la Faim (ACF) implemented a European Union (EU)-funded Multi-Purpose Cash (MPC) project in the Abyan and Amran Governorates of Yemen. The project aimed to enhance food security and to support livelihood activities, savings groups, and the resilience of communities with the rehabilitation of critical, community-identified shared assets. The program design was aligned with the Humanitarian Development Nexus framework, which focuses on a shift from supplying humanitarian assistance to those who need it to reducing the demand for humanitarian assistance by addressing the root causes of these needs.

This report is a summary of findings from the full evaluation. The evaluation looks at:

  • Performance against Development Assistance Committee (DAC) Evaluation Criteria: relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability
  • Insight on the internal and external factors influencing the achievement (or non-achievement) of project objectives
