1. Introduction

1 The FAO Office of Evaluation (OED) has been conducting country programme evaluations since 2005 to provide accountability to Member countries, national governments and development partners, and draw lessons and suggestions for programme improvement. The Islamic Republic of Pakistan was selected as one of the countries in which to carry out a Country Programme Evaluation (CPE) in 2017 at the request of the Government of Pakistan (GoP).

2 The Terms of Reference (ToR) for the Islamic Republic of Pakistan country evaluation are the result of the preparatory phase, consisting of: a desk review of existing external documentation1; a preliminary analysis of FAO’s portfolio of work in Pakistan; and scoping interviews with FAO staff at the country, regional levels and in HQ. The ToRs also benefited from discussions held during the inception mission with a selected number of partners at the national level including government officials, resource partners, UN agencies and other international organizations. The evaluation will primarily cover the current programme cycle – FAO Pakistan Country Programme Framework (CPF 2012-2017); ongoing and pipeline projects will be assessed for quality at entry. The CPE will not cover in depth the FAO emergency response to the floods 2010 as this has been evaluated by OED2.

3 These ToRs represent a guiding document for the Evaluation Team. Their purpose is to describe the FAO programme in the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, identify some key areas of work undertaken over the current CPF cycle, define the scope of the evaluation and provide the initial evaluation work plan. The ToRs have been shared with and commented upon by FAO staff in the Country Office (CO), the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (RAP), the Ministry of National Food Security & Research (MNFSR – FAO’s primary counterpart in the Government of Pakistan) and the Ministry of Planning, Development and Reform. A set of key questions has been developed to further define the objective of the evaluation and inform the methodology to be employed at different stages of the exercise. The methodology and the evaluation tools will be further developed by the team over the course of the evaluation.

1 Including government planning documents, the United Nations Country Team (UNCT), existing FAO evaluations of projects in Pakistan, and academic papers and reviews.

2. Purpose of the Evaluation

4 The purpose of the evaluation is to provide inputs to the FAO country office to better orient FAO’s approach, strategy and programme in Pakistan, making FAO more relevant to the needs of the country. It will assist in assessing FAO’s work in terms of its accountability to the Government and non-government partners, communities and resource partners in the country, as well as all member countries, by assessing the FAO contribution to Pakistan’s achievement of its development goals. It seeks to draw lessons and make recommendations that will be useful for FAO’s future engagement in the country. Besides providing lessons specifically on FAO’s work in Pakistan, the evaluation will also enrich FAO’s synthesis of findings and guidance for its country-level support.

5 In addition to providing advice to FAO management and staff at the national, regional and headquarters level on how to improve the impact and relevance of FAO’s programme, the evaluation will also identify potential areas for future interventions in line with FAO’s comparative advantage.

6 The main audience for the evaluation, to which most of the lessons and recommendations will be addressed, are the FAO Representative and the representation staff. Other important users of the evaluation, and possible recipients of recommendations, are the Regional Office for Asia and the divisions in HQ. To a lesser extent, other Country Offices and FAO as a whole could also benefit and build on lessons learnt and good practices. Further users of the evaluation will be FAO’s partners within the broader development community, including resource partners, NGOs, implementing partners and other UN agencies, in particular those with whom strategic interventions were identified in the context of the third One UN Programme (OPIII). Although not a target group for the evaluation report itself, the evaluation also aspires to provide elements to assess accountability with respect to rural farming communities in Pakistan that FAO has sought to assist.

7 Since the adoption of the Paris Declaration on aid effectiveness, the international community has given increasing attention to country ownership of the development process. In this spirit, the evaluation will focus on the participation of national partners, in particular the Government at Provincial and Federal levels, to ensure the appropriation of the evaluation results by the relevant national institutions and promote their use at the national level. To this end, OED envisions the creation of a Reference Group (RG) involving national partners operating in FAO’s areas of work.

3. Brief overview of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan

8 The Islamic Republic of Pakistan is a lower middle income country located in south Asia bordering India, China, Afghanistan, Iran and the Indian Ocean. It is the sixth most populous country with a population of around 195 million3, and the second most populous Muslim country. The official languages are Urdu and English, with several other languages and dialects spoken by the several ethnic groups, which spill over into neighboring countries. Since its independence from Britain and partition from India in 1947, the country lost part of its territory in 1971, when East Pakistan broke off and formed Bangladesh. The region of Kashmir is disputed with India and is de facto divided into two separately administered areas along the Line of Control.

9 Pakistan is a parliamentary democracy with a federal form of government, comprised of the Federal Government and Provincial governments. The constitutional reform of 2010, known as devolution established a decentralized structure of government whereby most of the responsibilities and related budgets (such as Agriculture, Education, Health, Transport, Industry) are under the control of provincial governments. The federal governments is responsible for areas such as defense, national food security and strategic planning. Also, the federal government directly administers the areas which are not formally or fully provinces, i.e. the Federally Administered Tribal Areas, Gilgit-Baltistan, and Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The military has always played a prominent role in politics and on three occasions has successfully taken power and ruled directly, most recently in 1999. In 2013, following a general election, for the first time there was a transition from one civilian government to another.

10 The government’s long term development strategy is outlined in the ‘Vision 2025’4 (prepared in 2014), which aims at transforming Pakistan into an upper middle-income country by 2025, with a focus on the energy sector, economic growth and private sector development, education and combating extremism. The federal government is currently drafting a National Agriculture and Food Security Policy, while several provinces have prepared or are in the process of preparing provincial agricultural policies.

11 Pakistan is endowed with highly diverse agro climatic regions. Most of the population, agriculture and industry are located in the fertile plains of the Indus river basin, which spans the provinces of Punjab and Sindh, while the western province (Baluchistan) is arid and scarcely populated. The northern provinces (Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, FATA, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, Gilgit-Baltistan) are mostly mountainous, and highly vulnerable to natural disasters.

12 The displacement of people due to natural disasters and security has been a major issue in recent years. Recurrent security operations in Pakistan’s north-west region have resulted in 1.6 million new or previously displaced people in 2015. Monsoon floods in 2015 affected approximately 1.6 million people in more than 4,000 villages5.

13 Economic growth has started to pick up after a slow recovery from the financial crisis in 2008. In 2015 the GDP grew by 4.5%, well above the 2009-13 average of 2.9% per year, with low oil prices and strong remittances playing a major role6. While the outlook is generally favorable for economic growth in the coming years, some of the major challenges include the lack of reliable energy supply, security risks and low human development. Over the past decades, services have increased their share and are currently around half of the country’s GPD, with industry and agriculture following with respectively 24% and 20% of GDP. Textiles are the main manufacturing industry, and an important export commodity, with the supply of cotton coming largely from domestic producers.

14 Poverty measures generally show a declining trend in poverty levels in the country, with differences in the percentage of people living in poverty, which currently ranges between 30% and 40% depending the measure. Based on the national poverty line, the share of people living in poverty has gone from 52% to 30% between 2004 and 20147, while in the same period according to the Multidimensional Poverty Index the rate has dropped from 55% to 39%8. Pakistan is ranked 147th (Low) according to the Human Development index (score of 0.538)9. Poverty is a most prevalent in rural areas, where the majority (61%) of Pakistanis live. There are also significant differences among the provinces, with Punjab being generally the most well of province. With a young and growing population, the country is increasingly facing the challenge of generating jobs and providing services to its people.

15 Agriculture generates about 20 percent of GDP, 45 percent of jobs, and about 80 percent of export earnings directly and indirectly10. However, the sector has been experiencing declining productivity, and especially low water productivity, which compounded with climate change risks, pose a serious challenge to farmers. Livestock plays a significant role in the economy of the country as the dairy sector contributes 58 percent to the agriculture value addition and 11 percent to GDP11. Wheat is the main staple crop, as well as a major export commodity. Rice is also a major crop, and some varieties (e.g. basmati) are an important export. Land ownership is highly skewed with 64% of farms being below 5 acres (2 hectares) and large holdings concentrated in few owners.

16 Food security remains a major issue as the country has not made progress in the Millennium Development Goals related to hunger and undernourishment. In 2015 the proportion of the population considered undernourished was estimated at 22%, and 43 percent of children under five years of age are stunted12. The method for calculating food insecurity is currently being revised and new figures will be available soon, most likely with lower food insecurity rates. Food and nutrition insecurity in the country are primarily attributable to limited economic access to an adequate and diverse diet for the poorest and most vulnerable.

4. FAO in Pakistan

4.1 The Country Office

17 FAO has been working with Pakistan since it became a member country just three weeks after partition in 1947. FAO’s work in the country focuses on supporting improvements in agricultural policy analysis, strengthening institutions, enhancing integrated area development and expanding participation of marginalized and vulnerable communities in sustainable development as well as emergency response, post-crisis recovery and resilience building. A wide range of capacity development has been provided in support of individual farmers, community organizations, service providers and government staff. The Organization’s activities in Pakistan are aligned with the national priorities outlined in National Five years development plan, Pakistan Vision 2025, Pakistan Scaling Up Nutrition documents, multi-sectoral Policy Guidance Notes, National Zero Hunger Programme, sustainable livelihood and Nutrition framework, and National Agriculture and Food Security policy13.

18 The Country Office (CO) has 10 Regular Programme (RP) staff posts. The Representation also employs more than 200 national project personnel (NPP), local consultants and other non-staff (PSA).

4.2 Overview of FAO’s field programme

19 Pakistan is one of the eight UN Delivering as One (DaO) pilot countries and FAO’s programme is aligned with the One UN Programme Second Phase (OP-II). The national priorities formed the basis for the OP-II. UNCT has identified Outcome level results that are grouped within six Strategic Priority Areas (SPAs). The OP-II is a national programme framework of the UN system in Pakistan: the planned results are national at the outcome level in order to capture main trends and priority areas across the country. At the output level where the specific interventions and accountability stands, it will capture the specific provincial and local priorities in order to respond to provincial needs and contexts. The six Strategic Priority Areas (SPAs):

1 Vulnerable and marginalized populations have equitable access and use of quality services;

2 Inclusive economic growth through the development of sustainable livelihoods;

3 Increased national resilience to disasters, crises and external shocks;

4 Strengthen governance and social cohesion;

5 Ensure gender equality and social justice; and;

6 Food and nutrition security for the most vulnerable groups.

20 Each SPA comprise a set of joint Outcomes and Outputs. There is a working group for each of the six SPAs. These groups are responsible for providing strategic guidance and coordination of activities being carried out in the achievement of the SPA’s outcomes and outputs. The SPA Working Groups also is supported by specialists in Monitoring and evaluation to support the overall OP II M&E process. FAO is contributing to SPA2, SPA 3, SPA4 and co-chairing SPA6.

21 The Cluster Approach was applied for the first time following the 2005 earthquake in Pakistan. Nine clusters were established within 24 hours of the earthquake. The Food Security Cluster was co-chaired by the National Disaster Management Authority (till March 2013) and co-lead by FAO and WFP provides a forum for strategic needs analysis, response planning and dissemination of timely information to ensure for equitable distribution of humanitarian assistance among the affected populations. A large number of organizations are members of the Food Security cluster in various capacities, including international,

13 In 2013, The Federal Ministry of National Food Security and Research (MFSR) formulated a Draft National Agriculture and Food Security Policy, but it is still not adopted.

national and local NGOs, government authorities of National and Provincial Disaster Management Authorities and line departments, including Agriculture and Livestock and Dairy Development Department, donors and UN agencies. The number of cluster members today exceeds 300, although less than 100 are active.

22 Against this background, the FAO project portfolio in Pakistan during the period 2012 - 2017 included 50 projects, of which 44 country (88%) and 6 inter-regional (12%). The total portfolio for national projects amounts to a total of USD 125,972,246.

23 FAO Pakistan benefited from six projects funded by the GoP worth USD 20,024,547, making the GoP the second largest donor following USA.

5. Scope of the evaluation

26 Country evaluations are designed to assess the totality of the Organization’s assistance provided to a FAO member state, irrespective of the source of funding. This includes activities funded through the regular programme as well as extra-budgetary resources; national, regional and global projects and initiatives; FAO’s global normative role as it is tied to the country’s participation in international instruments under FAO’s responsibility; emergency and development interventions. Since the CPE is a programme evaluation, the exercise will not focus on single projects, but rather assess FAO’s overall contribution to development changes in the country, in particular (but not only) in the priority areas defined in the CPF, including advocacy, partnership mobilization and governance.

27 This evaluation will examine five main clusters of the FAO Pakistan work programme, namely:

i The One UN Joint Programmes, focusing on outcomes from the SPAs on food security assessments, Scaling Up Nutrition, monitoring and sector coordination;

ii Support on agricultural policies, strategies and systems (national and provincial);

iii Resilience and emergencies (Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction) focusing on early warning systems, prevention and mitigation measure;

iv Support for the recovery of agriculture-based livelihoods focusing on the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Baluchistan and Sindh;

v Animal health and veterinary services;

28 Further, the evaluation will be carried out within the scope of FAO’s Strategic Objectives (SO) and Core Functions. In particular, seeing that the objectives and activities carried out by FAO in Pakistan are relevant to all five SOs, the evaluation will pay particular attention to strategic alignment with and possible contribution to these SOs and the SDGs, and to the way they interact in practice, endeavouring to draw lessons benefiting the work of the organisation towards these objectives.

29 Contributions provided by FAO as part of its core functions, which are often by their nature not necessarily delivered as part of specific projects, will also be covered by this evaluation. These include the areas of analysing, monitoring and improving access to data and information; policy dialogue; capacity development to prepare, implement, monitor and evaluate evidence-based policies, investments and programmes; assembling, disseminating and improving the uptake of knowledge, technologies and good practices; coordination; partnership; advocacy and communication.

6. Objectives

30 The specific objectives of the CPE are to:

• Assess the strategic relevance of FAO’s contributions and interventions in responding to country needs and national development goals;

• Assess the strategic relevance of the CPF (FAO’s country strategy) and the impact of the CPF on FAO’s ability to deliver a stronger contribution to change in the country;

• Likewise assess the strategic relevance and possible contributions of FAO’s work and role in Pakistan over the past five years vis-a-vis FAO’s global Strategic Framework;

• Assess achievements of the work programme in terms of results identified in the CPF under the four priority areas;

• Identify lessons learnt as well as causes of successes and failures;

• Identify gaps or weaknesses in FAO’s country strategy and programme and potential areas of future work.

31 During the inception mission, support for the recovery of agriculture-based livelihoods and moving to a more income generation, value chain and employment development interventions emerged as a key area in which FAO has been providing and is planning to provide more cooperation in the future on regional/provincial level. In particular, in FATA, Baluchistan and Sindh. The evaluation will therefore assess past support, and provide inputs for future interventions of this kind.

32 FAO’s participation in the One UN Joint programmes has mobilised almost $12 millions under the CPF, and has enabled delivery of a handful of targeted interventions that seem to have yielded some positive results. The evaluation will assess the outcomes of these activities and also identify ways to enhance FAO’s strategic positioning within such joint programmes, its partnership strategy and working modalities under the One UN framework.

7. Evaluation Questions

33 The following questions have been developed to further define the objective of the evaluation. More specific questions will be developed by the team at the beginning of the in-country investigation phase.

Strategic positioning: Are we doing what is needed?

Strategic relevance

• Has FAO been addressing the most acute and structurally important challenges in Pakistan in line with the areas of FAO’s competence?

• To what extent is FAO’s programme aligned with relevant national development plans, strategies and policies - in particular on GoP’s ability to achieve its development goals? Are there any gaps or missed opportunities?

• In view of the Devolution, Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition and water managemnt being part of the regional/provincial mandate, how effective has the FAO representation in Pakistan been in responding to the needs of both federal and provincial authorities under this new government structure? How does this affect FAO’s work in Pakistan vis-à-vis staffing, funding, procedures? What are the constraints and opportunities this creates?

Partnership and Coordination

• How effectively did FAO engage in partnerships and to what extent were these partnerships complementary and synergetic? And to what extent FAO contributed to the capacity development of community organisations and non-state actors?

• Has participation in the One UN joint programmes, Food Security Cluster/working groups and Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) contributed towards enhancing FAO’s capacity to achieve desired results? To what extent has FAO supported the coordination of actors working in the agricultural development and food security and nutrition sectors?

Normative values

• To what extent has FAO taken into account UN normative values and principles such as equity, human rights and targeting the most vulnerable communities and localities in the design of its programme and during the implementation?

• To what extent have FAO beneficiaries (men and women) accepted, adopted and up scaled any of the innovation developed?

• To what extent has FAO contributed to women’s economic empowerment along the value chain?

• How has FAO succeeded in equally improving livelihoods of men and women?

Comparative advantage

• What role has FAO played vis-à-vis other development actors (national and local government, civil society, the private sector, and other international development partners) and did it draw from its own comparative advantage?

Programme contribution: Are we making a difference?

• What are FAO contributions to the support on agricultural policies, action-plans and information systems (national and provincial)? (primary CPE PA 1 / secondary CPE PA 4)

• What are FAO contributions to resilience building and emergency response (Climate Change and Disaster Risk Reduction) focusing on early warning systems, prevention and mitigation measure? (primary CPE PA 3 / secondary CPE PA 1)

• hat are FAO contributions to support the recovery of agriculture-based livelihoods focusing on the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA), Baluchistan and Sindh? (primary CPE PA 4 / secondary CPE PA 3)

8. Methodology

34 The general evaluation questions listed above will be the basis for specific evaluation questions to be contextualised according to different types of activities, individual projects, and stakeholders involved. These specific questions will be developed by the team and validated with FAO Country office staff. Questions and critical issues identified during the preparatory phase will also be included in the set of evaluation questions.

35 This evaluation will use a mix of quantitative and qualitative methods. The methodologies that the evaluation will draw on Beneficiary Assessment methods16. This is as an addition to the usual quantitative evidence collected from secondary data. Where appropriate, the evaluation will use economic modelling to assess value for money in addition to geo-special analysis.

36 To answer the question “strategic positioning: are we responding to needs”, the team will start by researching whether the FAO programme in Pakistan was based on a preliminary assessment of the needs of different stakeholders: e.g. Government, communities, vulnerable households. It will then research what these needs were, and whether the programme responded to them. To gather information related to this question the team will conduct semi-structured interviews and review relevant documents. Through stakeholder mapping carried out with the support from the country office, the team will identify who is best able to respond to each question. Sources of information will be key informants, internal and external stakeholders at the central and decentralised levels and secondary sources. In addition, workshops targeting different groups of stakeholders will be organized to identify issues, lessons learned and potential areas for future interventions. Facilitation techniques, developed by the evaluation team at the beginning of the main mission, will be employed during the workshops. Information from different sources will be validated through triangulation.

37 To answer the question “programme contribution: are we making a difference”, the team will conduct an impact assessment of work under the Area-based support for the recovery of agriculture-based livelihoods Programmes. Field work will be conducted to meet direct and indirect beneficiaries and assess changes brought by the intervention on their lives and livelihoods. In so far as possible, considering time, logistical and methodological constraints, the team will assess short and long term impacts and negative and positive results at community level. Project sites for field visits will be selected in consultation with the Country Office, aiming at relevance and geographic variety but also considering security and accessibility concerns. During site visits the team will use different evaluation tools, including semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions, to collect the views of the beneficiaries and of communities at large. The team will also meet with non-beneficiary households to explore targeting issues and spill-over effects. The issue of sustainability will also be looked into, and what lessons can be learned from the intervention.

38 Given the extended longevity of the CPF, the evaluation will use the Pipeline Design for some interventions such as the transboundary animal diseases to assess the short-medium impacts the initiative brought as it was implemented in phases over a period of time, the segments of the population only affected by the latter phases can be used as comparison groups for the earlier phases.

39 The evaluation will conduct an in-depth study on FAO’s agriculture sector policy support. The study will research the results of FAO’s work in this area with a forward looking focus, particularly given that the country is on the cusp of a the devolution and the Provinces are taking over the agriculture sector development planning and implementation. The aim is to assess the positive, negative, intended and unintended changes produced by FAO’s activities, and evaluate its impact on strengthening the sector towards improving the livelihoods of smallholder farmers, young farmers, women, and communities in particular.

40 The evaluation will maximize the use of past evaluations conducted by FAO and/or our development partners, the meta-analysis of the past evaluations will focus on the evidences collected and analyzed by the past evaluation team.

41 As mentioned, this aims to be a forward looking evaluation, and this will be reflected in the methodology. In order to assess present and future needs Key Informant Interviews and Focus Group Discussions will also need to address gaps in FAO programming, and potential areas of work.

42 Emphasis will be placed on assessing FAO’s contributions to capacity development. The definition adopted in FAO’s Capacity Development Corporate Strategy (2009), based on the enhanced capacities across three dimensions (individual, organizational, and enabling environment dimensions), and constitutes an important analytical framework for this evaluation.

43 The evaluation will adopt a consultative approach, seeking and sharing opinions with stakeholders at different stages throughout the process. Different sources will be used to verify information. Triangulation of information across stakeholders will be a key approach for validating evidence.

44 Finally, the evaluation will follow UNEG Norms and Standards as well as ethical guidelines. Gender and equity aspects will be examined throughout the evaluation.

9. Process

9.1 Preparatory phase

45 These ToRs are the result of the preparatory phase, which included:

• An inception mission, carried out to discuss with FAO staff at country level as well as to engage with the national government and set up a framework for collaboration with key national counterparts, scope the national research and evaluation capacity to establish collaborations for the evaluation process, and discuss evaluation design and activity plans with the relevant programme managers. Interviews with internal and external stakeholders were conducted to identify key issues for the evaluation and formulate related evaluation questions.

• A portfolio analysis, prepared to better understand FAO’s past priorities and the details of its programme in the country, providing an overview of activities and, when possible, of results achieved.

• A context analysis, prepared to highlight the country’s needs and priorities falling within FAO’s areas of work.

9.2 Main evaluation phase

46 This phase will include the following:

• Desk review of existing documentation, and in particular any previous evaluations, monitoring information and M&E studies;

• On the basis of the ToRs, development of more specific evaluation questions;

• With the support of the country office, mapping of FAO’s internal and external stakeholders able to provide information in relation to the evaluation questions;

• Consultation with key informants, national institutions at central and decentralised level, and development partners, including donors, NGOs, UN agencies and others in Pakistan;

• Field visits to project sites selected in coordination with the Country Office to meet with government staff at provincial and district level, project beneficiaries and beneficiary communities;

47 The main evaluation will take place in the period Jan - May 2017, and include work in several streams undertaken in parallel by the evaluation team members. An initial mission will take place in February 2017 to refine the evaluation questions, methodology and tools, as well as to undertake preliminary data collection at federal level. A second mission will be conducted in Feb - Mar 2017 to launch the in-depth studies and the policy review. A final mission will be conducted in April 2017 to undertake complementary data collection, and to analyse the information collected, on which basis the team will discuss and agree on main conclusions, recommendations and lessons learnt. At the end of this mission, preliminary results will be presented to FAO country office staff.
