This cluster evaluation assessed the appropriateness of the nutrition education approach and processes of the projects, including their innovativeness. It found that the nutrition education approach was relevant and consistent in addressing identified needs. The innovative pedagogical approaches to nutrition education were appropriate in addressing the gaps and needs in the pilot countries and suitable for the target groups. It however found that implementation was done almost entirely by a group of FAO headquarters-based consultants and that governments were insufficiently involved as partners, which has lowered effectiveness and sustainability of the projects. It recommends that FAO should ensure that future nutrition education projects consult and involve all relevant partners during design and implementation. Also, FAO should continue exploring the possibility to further adapt the project approach to other contexts and target groups.
