Flexible Systems - Effective Responses? Regional Evaluation of WFP’s Contribution to Shock-Responsive Social Protection in Latin America and the Caribbean (2015-2022)
Flexible Systems - Effective Responses? Regional Evaluation of WFP’s Contribution to Shock-Responsive Social Protection in Latin America and the Caribbean (2015-2022)
This thematic evaluation, commissioned by the Regional Bureau for Latin American and the Caribbean (RBP), examines the work carried out by the World Food Programme (WFP) in Shock-Responsive Social Protection (SRSP) in the region from 2015 to 2022. This formative regional evaluation has two main objectives: learning and accountability. Emphasizing learning, the evaluation aims to understand high-level outcomes and extract lessons and good practices. For accountability, it identifies the results achieved from implementing the SRSP framework and pillar of the Regional Social Protection Strategy (2019) by WFP in LAC. The evaluation assessed the coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and gender and inclusion aspects of WFP’s engagement in SRSP. The evaluation adopted a mixed-methods approach and followed a utilization-focused and theory-based approach, using outcome mapping to assess WFP’s contribution to strengthening shock-responsive SP systems in LAC.
