The evaluation of the country strategic plan for Mali for 2020–2024 and the preceding transitional interim country strategic plan for 2018–2019 was conducted between March 2023 and April 2024 and covered WFP’s strategy, interventions and systems for the period from 2018 to June 2023. Taking a utilization-focused, consultative approach, the evaluation served both accountability and learning purposes and has informed the preparation of the country strategic plan for 2025–2029. The evaluation assessed WFP’s strategic positioning, its contribution to outcomes, its efficiency in implementing the plans, and the factors that explain its performance.
