Management Response to the Recommendations of the Strategic Evaluation of WFP's Pilot 'Purchase for Progress Initiative' (2008-2013)

The summative final evaluation of the WFP’s Purchase for Progress (P4P) pilot initiative (2008–2013), assessed the quality and results of the initiative and the extent these received can be used to inform the implementation of the WFP strategic plan. The evaluation recommends completing ongoing activities and analysis; focusing future programme activity where favourable conditions exist; mainstreaming the demand (procurement) side of P4P-like programmes where WFP presents comparative advantages; considering adaptation of organizational systems to support mainstreaming; and developing guidelines for future WFP pilots.
