The Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) project was established in 1994. From 2000 onward, the main donors selected the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to be the implementing agency for FSNAU. The overall objective of the project was to ensure that Somali food, nutrition and livelihood security was strengthened at the household and community level, thereby ensuring greater resilience to shocks such as those caused by conflict, drought, flood, disease or economic crisis. The purpose of the project was to provide a broad range of stakeholders and Somali institutions with timely and relevant gender-disaggregated information on the food, nutrition and livelihood security situation of the Somali population. The intended outcome was improved emergency and longer term responses, ensuring that communities, agencies and authorities in Somalia, as well as the international aid community, were empowered to respond.
FSNAU receives funding through a multi-donor trust fund including the European Union, Swedish International Development Agency, United Kingdom Department for International Development (DFID), Office of United States Foreign Disaster Assistance/United States Agency for International Development (OFDA/USAID), United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Finland and United Nations International Children’s Fund (UNICEF). Although the current phase was established with a target budget of USD 26.1 million, only USD 21 million was secured.
This report presents the final evaluation of the project, covering the period from 2013 to 2016. The purpose of the evaluation was to inform the Project Working Group (PWG), the Project Task Force (PTF), donors and other stakeholders about the project’s achievements towards attaining the expected results, and the sustainability of these results. The final evaluation took place between September and December 2016, and the evaluation mission was conducted in Nairobi from 9 to 21 October 2016.
