Final Evaluation of the Programme: “Accelerate Progress Towards Millennium Development Goal 1C (MDG1.C Programme)

The MDG1c Programme “Accelerate Progress Towards Millennium Development Goal 1C” in Mozambique was implemented from 2013 to 2019. The Programme was funded by the European Union and implemented by the three Rome-Based Agencies (RBAs) of the United Nations (UN) – the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the International Fund for Agriculture Development (IFAD) and the World Food Programme (WFP) – under the coordination of the Mozambican Technical Secretariat for Food and Nutrition Security – SETSAN.

The overall objective of the MDG1c Programme was to contribute to the “Acceleration of attainment of MDG 1c: Halve between 1990 and 2015 the portion of people who suffer from hunger in Mozambique”. Three specific objectives were defined, corresponding to the three pillars of food security and nutrition: I. Enhance agricultural and fisheries production (food availability); II. Increase access to Food; III. Improve Nutrition. 16 Results Components were defined to achieve such results. The logic of intervention was based on the assumption that factors that lead to food insecurity and malnutrition are multiple, therefore the Programme’s main approach was the implementation of multisectoral and integrated interventions to tackle at the same time the diverse factors that constraint households FNS.
