Evaluering
Final Evaluation of Food Security Initiative (FSI) Project
Save the Children (SC) together with a team of IDE, Mission East (ME) and local NGO partners implemented food security initiative (FSI) project in response to the increasing food prices and food insecurity in five districts of mid-western region of Nepal aiming to increase food production, household income and improved nutrition of 6,600 targeted households from 1st January to 31st October 2011, funding by the EU Food Facility Program. The project targeted communities that were unreachable and deprived from different development interventions in the past. The interventions focused to address the emerging situation of increasing food crises to those of vulnerable households in mountains, hills and terai. The project adopted the value chain approach, social mobilization, capacity building, and technology transfer to those of vulnerable households, in particular to increase production through increased access to land, water, improved seed, technical training, enhancing the skills of improved agricultural practices and improving nutrition of the children and mothers. The main objective of this evaluation was to document the result outcomes, and impacts of the project and share learning and challenges among project partners and stake holders.
