The independent evaluation of the FAO Rwanda Country Programming Framework (CPF) 2019?2023 assesses FAO‘s contributions to Rwanda‘s agriculture sector, focusing on aligning with national and global agricultural development goals. The evaluation covered 12 districts and 18 project sites.FAO aimed to support Rwanda‘s transition to a high-income, knowledge-based economy by addressing agricultural challenges, including nutrition emergencies and climate shocks. The "four betters" approach was introduced to improve coordination and results. Key achievements included enhancing agricultural practices, increasing market access, promoting women‘s empowerment, and creating youth employment opportunities.While FAO’s CPF aligned with Rwanda’s goals, it lacked strategic focus and had weak design elements like vague outcomes and poor tracking. Recommendations include a more targeted approach, improved partnerships beyond the agricultural ministry, and stronger gender and inclusivity measures. FAO should refine its strategy for the next CPF with clear goals, risk analysis, and better resource mobilization.
