The WFP Bangladesh Country Office (CO) commissioned Econometría to perform an operations evaluation of the McGovern Dole (MGD) School Feeding (SF) Programme (FFE- 388-314/048-00) implemented by the World Food Programme (WFP) in Bangladesh from March 20151 to December 2017. The evaluation purpose is accountability and learning by assess its performance and results, determine the reasons why certain results occurred or did not occur, draw lessons and provide recommendations. This evaluation is of direct interest to WFP-CO and Sub-offices and other WFP dependencies2, the USDA Food Assistance Division (FAD), the Government of Bangladesh (GoB), the school’s community, the NGO partners - RDRS and BRAC-, other United Nations’ agencies, and other actors such as local communities and suppliers. 2. Bangladesh, a South Asian country, is highly Bangladesh context facts densely populated with 260 million people. Poverty headcount rate (HCR) (HIES, BBS, 2016) 24.30% Recently it graduated as a developing country Gaibandha district HCR rate (Census 2011) 46.70% National literacy rate (HIES, 2016) 65.60% (2018) and received the status of a lower-middle Gaibandha literacy rate (NEP, 2010) 42.80% income country (2015). With almost 22 million Underweighted children (BDHS,2014) 33% children in pre-primary and primary ages, as Global Gender Gap Index (WEF, 2017) 47/144 enrolment rates reached more than 95%, the provision of education of quality became the main challenge for the GoB. The reduction of hunger through SF3 has been an instrument to reach primary education universal coverage, keep boys and girls at school for a longer period of time, and reduce drop out as well as social, gender, and regional disparities. 3. The WFP-MGD SF Programme, with a total investment of USD26 million, had two columns of action with different modalities: 1) Through NGOs: To provide high energy biscuits (HEB) and complementary activities to pre-primary and primary school students in the Gaibandha district (5 upazilas) searching for the reduction of undernutrition and hunger, the improvement of school-age children literacy, and the increase in the use of health and dietary practices4; 2) Directly: At the national level, the provision of technical support to the GoB by constructing institutional capacity and strengthening the SF legal framework. Methodology 4. The evaluation was designed to assess the WFP-MGD SF Programme (2015-2017) in relation to its relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability. The main evaluation questions (EQ) were: 1) How appropriate was the operation? 2) What were the results of the operation? 3) What were the factors that affected the results, positively or negatively? 4) To what extent have the implementation and results been sustainable? 5. In order to respond to the EQ, the evaluation team (ET) used mixed methods, applying triangulation of the available sources and voices. The programme’s framework was a central input as it offered the relation between outputs and outcomes and presented the planned targets to be assessed. The extensive desk review (quantitative and qualitative), combined with the information from the fieldwork were used to evaluate the programme’s relevance and also if the planned outputs and outcomes were attained. Fieldwork evidence was key to evaluate the effectiveness of the sustainability strategies

Decades of developmental efforts were repeatedly undermined by the repeating natural disasters which took the communities back to the beginning stages of development indicating that there is a need for a paradigm shift in the way the development is approached in the country. Development in Bangladesh requires an integrated approach that promotes small ideas with high potential without reliance on high- end technologies that often fail in the context of developing countries like Bangladesh. Such a development should also take into consideration different risks and vulnerabilities that the country is facing. The project on ‘disappearing lands’ has rightly been awarded The Ryutaro Hashimoto APFED Awards for Good Practices as the project is aimed at bringing in small ideas that have potential to change the lives of millions of rural people challenged by natural vagaries.
