This cluster evaluation assessed the overall contribution of three interlinked projects related to food security and nutrition in Afghanistan. It found that the food security cluster has contributed to women’s empowerment through the formation of common interest groups for women, increased knowledge and skills in mushroom farming, and improved technology transfer of mushroom cultivation. It contributed to increased coordination and enhanced capacities, institutional structures and processes for improved policy development, programme design and implementation, which have enhanced household food security and nutrition in the country. The evaluation recommends that FAO expand and strengthen the capacity development activities of duty bearers, strengthen cooperation and coordination among government departments and invest more in developing monitoring and evaluation systems and capacities in the country.
