Real Time Evaluation: Project EARLI Niger (Emergency Agricultural Recovery and Livelihoods Intervention)

CRS-Niger and partner SOS Sahel International are currently intervening in Tillabery and Ouallam departments of Tillabery Region via Project EARLI (Emergency Agriculture Recovery and Livelihoods Interventions in Niger) to provide assistance to households in the form of cash for work and improved seeds through seed fairs. Project EARLI began in April 2012 and will continue until March 2013. This Real Time Evaluation examines the relevance, appropriateness, effectiveness, management, sustainability and scope of the response in an effort to provide information quickly that will benefit the remaining months of the project. The RTE ojectives were to 1) Document the results achieved as of the data collection date; 2) Provide a project review and recommendations for improving implementation; 3) Identify good practices and lessons learned in this response to use more widely. 4) Promote a learning approach within CRS by reporting and communicating the outcome of the RTE beyond CRS Niger to the agency worldwide and to partners.
