Evaluation of Norway’s Bilateral Agricultural Support to Food Security

The purpose of this evaluation was “to assess to what extent Norwegian funds for agriculture have contributed to food security, with a view to get recommendations for future support”. The period under evaluation was 2005-2011. The evaluation focused on four aspects (clusters): 1. Contribution to food security. 2. Monitoring, evaluation and documentation. 3. Sustainability and scaling-up. 4. Financial analysis. The programmes under review were chosen in accordance with the selection criteria outlined in the terms of reference (ToR), reflecting the project size, as well as the size of the agreement partner implementing projects classified as OECD/DAC 311 (agriculture) and DAC 410 (general environmental protection).
