Summary evaluation report on development project Burkina Faso 4959.00: supplementary feeding for vulnerable groups
The project seeks to encourage regular attendance at health facilities of expectant and nursing mothers whose children are at risk of malnutrition. While attendance has increased in the beneficiary centres, it has not become more regular, for a variety of reasons. The project also aimed at contributing to information, education and communication (IEC) activities, but the health personnel is poorly motivated and lacks the training to act effectively in a participatory approach. The results of income transfer to volunteer personnel have been more positive, as has the financial participation of women in food distributions. Despite mediocre results, the mission deems that WFP assistance is relevant, provided certain adjustments are made in the project’s design and that consideration be given to the mission’s recommendations regarding criteria for the selection of beneficiaries, monitoring and evaluation, and training in IEC to promote a participatory approach. Food distribution at the health training facilities must be interrupted for three months in order to train the implementation staff so that they can better attain the objectives of the project.

| Summary: | The project seeks to encourage regular attendance at health facilities of expectant and nursing mothers whose children are at risk of malnutrition. While attendance has increased in the beneficiary centres, it has not become more regular, for a variety of reasons. The project also aimed at contributing to information, education and communication (IEC) activities, but the health personnel is poorly motivated and lacks the training to act effectively in a participatory approach. The results of income transfer to volunteer personnel have been more positive, as has the financial participation of women in
food distributions. Despite mediocre results, the mission deems that WFP assistance is relevant, provided certain adjustments are made in the project’s design and that consideration be given to the mission’s recommendations regarding criteria for the selection of beneficiaries, monitoring and evaluation, and training in IEC to promote a
participatory approach. Food distribution at the health training
facilities must be interrupted for three months in order to train the
