Evaluation of the FAO Technical Cooperation Programme
Overview
The Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) was created in 1979 to enable the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to draw on regular programme resources to respond to countries’ most pressing needs for technical assistance. The overall TCP appropriation has ranged from 11.5 percent to 14 percent of FAO’s regular programme budget over the last four biennia (from 2012–13 to 2018–19). The TCP is a crucial instrument for FAO’s positioning, visibility and operations in Member countries. However, certain projects are small and isolated, so they struggle to have a sizeable development impact.
TCP needs to be modernized and repositioned to ensure that more TCP projects have catalytic and sustainable effects. FAO should transform the TCP into a more strategic, facilitative instrument that provides Members with technical assistance to achieve the 2030 Agenda. The TCP criteria should also include a requirement that projects be aligned with and contribute to specific SDG targets and/or indicators. At the same time, the TCP should remain country focused and demand driven to ensure tangible benefits for Members.
