Internal Mid-Term Evaluation of FAO's Post-Conflict Programme in Afghanistan and FAO's Coordination Arrangement for Leading Transition

The Mid-Term Evaluation (MTE) of the FAO’s post-conflict programme of assistance in
Afghanistan was conducted by the Evaluation Service (PBEE) as a result of a request from the Emergency
Operations and Rehabilitation Division (TCE). The main purpose was to provide validation of activities
undertaken and suggestions for corrective measures and future programming and delivery. The Evaluation
was also meant to identify issues for Senior Management consideration, with a view to adjusting FAO’s
programme and approach in Afghanistan. In this respect, the Evaluation was intended to be a ‘formative’
exercise. The evaluation also aimed at drawing lessons from the experience in Afghanistan that would be
relevant for future post-conflict and transition situations elsewhere.
