The evaluation covers eight countries in the Sahel and Central Africa (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Mali, Mauritania, the Niger and Nigeria) over the period from January 2018 to December 2023. It addresses WFP's capacity to anticipate, prepare for and respond to emergencies in the context of the humanitarian–development–peace nexus and how that capacity is manifested through WFP's direct response to emergency food and nutrition needs and its support for national crisis response, food and social protection systems, as well as the strengthening of the humanitarian ecosystem.
