Summary Evaluation Report - Somalia Country Portfolio

The Somalia country portfolio evaluation covered the period from 2006 to 2011. It focused on three key evaluation questions: i) the alignment and strategic positioning of WFP’s operations in Somalia, given the particularly challenging humanitarian situation and the complex geopolitical context, especially in south and central Somalia; ii) the factors that have driven WFP’s strategic decision-making; and iii) the performance and results of WFP operations over the portfolio period. The evaluation serves the dual objectives of accountability and learning and was timed to provide lessons learned and recommendations for development of the next Somalia operation in 2013.
