The evaluation was commissioned by the ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ independent Office of Evaluation to provide evaluative evidence for accountability and learning to inform the design of the next ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ CSP in China. It covers ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ activities from 2017 to 2020.
Conducted between August 2020 and April 2021, the evaluation assessed ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½¡¯s strategic positioning and role and the extent to which ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ has made the strategic shift expected by the CSP; ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½¡¯s contributions to strategic outcomes; efficiency and factors that explain ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ performance.
The evaluation concluded that:
- Overall, the CSP is aligned with the direction of the government and has remained a relevant approach to supporting the government to meet the food and nutrition needs of the country.
- Looking forward, more emphasis will be required on evidencing the results of the domestic pilot projects to demonstrate their added value for China as an entry point for possible ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ engagement on domestic issues. This would also help promote their upscaling within China and possible dissemination abroad through SSC.
- Technical advice provided through the Centre of Excellence could be better adapted to the specific context of recipient countries.
- The current financial model for the CSP needs stabilizing through a more strategic funding approach for the CSP priorities.
- Mutually satisfactory procedures for ÐÇ¿Õ´«Ã½ to access official development assistance funding from China still need to be confirmed.
