Channel: Agrilinks
Date: 2017-05-10

In order to advance food security objectives, we must first understand how programs can and should effectively address legal, regulatory and institutional constraints to agricultural sector growth.

This webinar featured two Feed the Future program evaluations and their recent reviews of enabling environment reform activities. Listen and learn from our specialists, as they recollect five years of Feed the Future results and discuss how to apply what was learned to the new Global Food Security Strategy.

About the reviews:

The Feed the Future Enabling Environment for Food Security project conducted a review of investments in enabling environment reform across seven bilateral Missions, five regional Missions and the Bureau for Food Security. This comprehensive analysis evaluated program design approaches, key methods of engagement and priority policy areas across more than 240 projects to better understand what has been effective, common challenges faced and lessons learned under the first five years of Feed the Future.

Over the past year, Feed the Future Knowledge Driven Agricultural Development, KDAD, Project has used qualitative research software to uniformly analyze and synthesize over 200 performance and impact evaluations and reporting from over 400 Feed the Future projects over the previous two years. With the overall goals of assessing the evidence base toward the Feed the Future learning agenda and answering key questions around future food security implementations questions, KDAD will discuss its findings relative to the Enabling Environment.
