Comparative Field Evaluation of the PHINEO Food Security Project (2019-2020)

This field evaluation assesses three projects supported by Caritas Germany, which in turn has received funding from Phineo. The 3-year Phineo program started in May 2018. Its three projects differ in their set-up and regional focus, but all aim to enhance food security. Similarly to the previous field evaluation, the overall objective of the current evaluation report is to assess the degree of realization of the objectives of the three food security projects in terms of food availability, access and utilization, but this time for 2019-2020. It will also begin to assess the so-called Rucksack projects, which are small follow-up projects with new activities based on lessons learned from the Phineo-supported projects. In addition, it examines what the three implementing organizations, the Mary Help Association (MHA), the Bishop Gassis Relief and Rescue Foundation (BGRRF), and Caritas Gulu, can learn from each other in both their humanitarian and developmental work in order to achieve their goals and strengthen their management.
