Descripción
In Angola available projections agree that smallholder farmers would have severe impacts from climate change given the rainfall dependence of most staple crops, combined with unsustainable agricultural practices and prevalent soil erosion. This report presents the results of the evaluation of the IRCEA project which was implemented to strengthen the climate resilience of agropastoral systems in vulnerable areas of Bié, Huambo, Malanje and Huíla provinces. The project was relevant to the resilience of target beneficiaries and to the government's priority needs. Its effectiveness and efficiency were moderately satisfactory due to several factors highlighted in the report. Though the project sustainability was moderately unlikely, the project created positive environmental and social effects and satisfactorily integrated and empowered women FFS members. The report provides recommendations to FAO on the support it should provide to the government to ensure better integration of the FFS model and CCA/SLM tools in future similar projects and to ensure the management of several project performance factors.
