Evaluating Portfolio Performance
Applied an OECD-DAC aligned, theory-based, and contribution-focused mixed-methods approach to assess policy relevance, effectiveness, sustainability, and systemic coherence.
The project delivered the independent Mid-Term Evaluation (MTE) of GAIN's global food systems nutrition portfolio, spanning 45 projects across 11 low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
The evaluation assessed the portfolio's strategic performance, contribution to food systems governance, and role in advancing nutrition-sensitive food systems, generating evidence to inform future programming and investment.
Conducting Multi-Country Assessments
Combined portfolio-wide analysis with in-depth case studies and extensive stakeholder engagement across governments, GAIN country offices, and private-sector partners.
Informing Future Strategy
Generated evidence on GAIN's contribution to strengthening partnerships and institutionalising food systems governance, informing subsequent Dutch MFA programming and GAIN's strategic direction.
Impact Metrics
Projects evaluated across 11 low and middle-income countries (LMICs).
