This report presents findings and recommendations of the Evaluation of FAO-Zimbabwe Cooperation (2006-2010) which was commissioned by the Office of Evaluation, FAO and was carried out from 1st to 25 February 2011. The period under evaluation saw difficult relations between Zimbabwe and Donors. FAO played a key role of “Coordination/Honest broker” between Donors, Government and other emergency aid and development partners.

The purpose of the Evaluation was to (1) assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of FAO activities in Zimbabwe; (2) provide accountability to FAO member countries; and (2) learn lessons about the factors affecting FAO performance and development impact at country level to inform the finalization of FAO’s strategy for Zimbabwe. It was a forward looking exercise, learning from past experience to make recommendations on future interventions.
