Ex-post evaluation of the project "Development of Integrated Dairy Schemes in Afghanistan"
Overview
This project aimed at developing the capacity of government partner agencies, cooperatives and unions, and beneficiary farming households on the management of resources and dairy sector productivity improvements. The evaluation found that FAO’s support at all levels of the milk supply chain was relevant to increasing production and productivity in the sector, increasing rural incomes, diversified livelihoods and consequently was relevant for the government’s dairy development strategy. The project delivered effective results along the dairy supply chain, with expansion of viable downstream industries providing reliable market outlets, together with more capable input suppliers and service providers supporting improved on-farm productivity, that allowed farmers to increase their milk sales with most of the income returning to women. Nevertheless, adaptation and resilience to climate change impacts were absent. The project achieved increasing incomes and improving livelihoods in project provinces which influenced the government strategy for further developing the industry throughout Afghanistan. The dairy unions and service providers continued to operate profitably more than a decade after project closure due to the ownership structures and operational capacities developed by the project; the IDS model was replicated in other provinces with similar results and demonstrates sustainability of the model.
