The evaluation assessed WFP¡¯s strategic positioning, its contribution to outcomes, its efficiency in implementing the plans, and the factors explaining its performance. The period under evaluation was marked by significant changes in WFP¡¯s portfolio. Until April 2020, ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳managed the emergency social safety net programme for Syrian refugees until it was handed over to the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies. ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳then shifted its focus to implementing a livelihood programme in °Õ¨¹°ù°ì¾±²â±ð and launched an emergency response to the two earthquakes in the south-east of the country in early 2023. That work was followed by a recovery programme.

The evaluation made three recommendations. First, strategically reposition ÐÓ°ÉÂÛ̳in °Õ¨¹°ù°ì¾±²â±ð, considering WFP¡¯s recognized global comparative advantages, and ¨C in the context of low funding levels ¨C establish contingency plans to ensure programme viability, including through the development of strategic partnerships. Second, in line with national priorities, develop a strategic framework (covering intervention logic, monitoring, partnership engagement, and environmental considerations) to strengthen community resilience. Third, support the Government¡¯s efforts to enhance emergency preparedness and response capacity in areas prone to shocks and stressors, particularly at the subnational level.
