Management Response to the Recommendations of the Summary Report of the Evaluation of the Impact of Food for Assets on Livelihood Resilience in Nepal (2002-2010)
Abstract:
This document responds to an impact evaluation of WFP’s cash- and food-for-assets (C/FFA) activities in Nepal, particularly in the context of disaster reduction. The evaluation was part of a series on the impact of food for assets on livelihood resilience; management recognizes emerging cross-cutting themes, notably the need to ensure maintenance of assets, to adjust monitoring systems to gather lessons, and to improve approaches to partnerships.

Management Response to the Recommendations of the Summary Report of the Evaluation of the Impact of Food for Assets on Livelihood Resilience in Nepal (2002-2010)
Abstract:
This document responds to an impact evaluation of WFP’s cash-and food-for-assets(C/FFA) activities in Nepal, particularly in the context of disaster reduction. The evaluation was part of a series on the impact of food for assets on livelihood resilience; management recognizes emerging cross-cutting themes, notably the need to ensure maintenance of assets,to adjust monitoring systems to gather lessons, and to improve approaches to partnerships.The evaluation suggests that short-term impacts were largely positive, through the rapid delivery of food aid in remote communities that received little other support,and in building resilience in communities where hazards are a normal part of life. Management welcomes the finding that the assets built contributed to increased accessibility and agricultural gains. Cash-and food-for-assets activities in Nepal were found to have less of an impact on chronic and structural food insecurity. The evaluation attributes this, in part,to the prioritization of small, short-term projects, and highlights the need for institutional alignment and complementarity to address longer-term structural problems. Management recognizes this need and notes that since the evaluation reference period (2002–2010), WFP has adjusted its approach to C/FFA under the new country programme (CP), in line with the United Nations Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) and the Government’s plans and priorities, and taking into account changes in the country context.
