This evaluation reviewed FAO’s investments, technical assistance and collaboration in Trinidad and Tobago from 2010 to 2015. It found that FAO has played a key role in supporting the development of policies and guidelines on forestry, nutrition and natural resource management, which has helped re-establish support by donors and partners who had earlier stopped supporting the country because of a lack of policies. FAO has supported new value chain agriculture especially the development of cassava as a staple crop. It however notes that a number of these policy initiatives are still in progress and that the value chain approaches were not sufficiently market-driven. It recommends that FAO revisit its value chain support to cassava production to make it more market-driven and strengthen support for policy formulation and implementation.
