Descripción
The timing of the evaluation was fortuitous as the FAO reform gained momentum and India continued to enjoy economic growth while simultaneously grappling with the goal of inclusive development. When the vision of FAO is a world without hunger and India is home to one quarter of the under-nourished people in the world; then India must be a country of vital interest to FAO. Unfortunately at this level, the evaluation was not informative. The previous FAOR when commenting on the draft evaluation re port said “The evaluation appears to focus mainly on the “trees” and far too little on the “forest”. In fact, the term “trees” may be too generous as many of the projects that the report discusses are tiny. Large portions of the report are taken up with inconsequential regional projects” Although the report provides inputs against purpose One (paragraph 4) of the evaluation, they were insufficient to generate debate at the higher-level from which such changes within FAO must be driven. In a sens e this is a lost opportunity.
