El informe resume el enfoque metodológico de la evaluación, analiza la relevancia y efectividad del proyecto, presentando los principales resultados en relación con cada una de sus cinco estrategias y la contribución del proyecto al logro de estas, y analiza también la eficiencia de la composición del equipo de proyecto, incluyendo el impacto de la pandemia de la COVID-19. El informe concluye con una discusión sobre la teoría del cambio del proyecto, y recomendaciones para la SPOG, sus socios, la FIGO y donante(s).

Cette revue de la littérature sur le secteur de semences au Niger se fait dans le cadre du projet « Développement Intégré du secteur semencier au Sahel » (ISSD/Sahel), dans
le cadre de l’objectif 5, plus spécifiquement dans le cadre de l’activité 5.1: Étudier la performance des secteurs semenciers Sahéliens et formuler les stratégies d’interventions spécifiques pour chaque culture prioritaire du projet.

The aim of the synthesis report is to discuss the main achievements and key results across the ten project countries of the Advocating for Safe Abortion Project (ASAP) and to acquire an understanding of the enabling and impeding factors in safe abortion advocacy. It is intended for the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO), implementing societies and the donor and could be used as well for partners and advocates to share lessons learned on health providers’ advocacy for safe abortion.

The research for change project is a research project focusing on assessing sexual violence responses in the context of disaster-prone and conflict areas. The project was executed by KIT Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) and Save the Children. The studies were initially planned in three different countries: Haiti, South Yemen and Northeast Nigeria. The project started in 2019 and ended in June 2022 and was funded by ECHO.

The scale-up of successfully tested public health interventions is critical to achieving universal health coverage. To ensure optimal use of resources, assessment of the scalability of an intervention is recognized as a crucial step in the scale-up process. This study assessed the scalability of a tested health management-strengthening intervention (MSI) at the district level in Ghana, Malawi and Uganda.

This end evaluation covers the period from the start of the project (in April 2019) until the end in March 2022, which marked the end of three years of project implementation. It focuses on the effects of the project for primary stakeholders (ZAGO, implementing parties) and secondary stakeholders (the actors ZAGO aimed to influence). The effects of the project on tertiary stakeholders are qualitatively assessed in those communities targeted by ZAGO. The project has been too short, though, to be able to measure community impact, in the sense of the number of women accessing safe abortion services, the number of lives saved, and so on.

Sustainability and inclusiveness are at the top of many international political agendas, and policymakers are asked to report progress against such priorities. A notable challenge confronting the development of the aquaculture value chain in Zambia is ensuring that the larger-scale commercial sector can continue to grow and generate economic benefits for the country, while simultaneously safeguarding inclusive and sustainable growth of smallholder production systems.

Churches can no longer ignore the growing challenges caused by unsustainable population growth on the continent. Unless the church starts addressing the issue of population and development urgently and adequately, it will not be able to offer transformative guidance to its followers on the continent. This case study presents the way in which the All Africa Conference of Churches (AACC) has raised this potential by encouraging their members to think about it and develop their own context-specific approaches.

Agricultural production frequently competes with forest conservation. The issue is particularly significant in developing countries where economic pressures frequently drive projects oriented at short-term economic gains at the expense of deforestation and long-term sustainable development. This working paper offers a review of business models combining agriculture with conservation objectives and portrays two illustrative case studies from the cocoa and coffee value chains.

This book marks a shift away from a typical, instrumentalist outlook focused on how gender analysis can contribute to research objectives, such as improved productivity. Contributors intentionally flip the question to ask: How does agricultural and environmental research and development contribute to gender equality and women’s empowerment? By reframing the analysis, the book puts gender equality and women’s empowerment at the center of agricultural development.
