Descripción
At its May 2005 session, the FAO Programme Committee recommended that FAO should undertake “an evaluation drawing conclusions on the basis of evaluations of the totality of FAO’s work in individual countries”. Country evaluations respond to General Assembly Resolution 59/250 of 2004, which stresses that the operational activities for development of the United Nations system should be valued and assessed on the basis of their impact on the recipient countries as contributions to their capacity to pursue poverty eradication, sustained economic growth and sustainable development. The country evaluation in Cambodia is the third such exercise conducted by FAO, following evaluations in Mozambique (2005-06) and Sierra Leone (2006-07). The FAO Evaluation Service, responsible for organizing the evaluation, consulted widely among FAO Headquarters units and Regional Offices on the possible countries for selection in each region. Among the criteria suggested for selection were the percentage and a bsolute number of under-nourished in the country, a high proportion of rural vs. urban population, size and diversity of the FAO programme and presence of a resident FAOR. Cambodia was selected as the first country for evaluation in Asia.
