1. Purchase from Africans for Africa (PAA Africa) is a programme inspired by the lessons learned from Brazil’s Zero Hunger initiative, combining school feeding activities with institutional procurement from farmers’ organizations (FOs). It is currently being implemented in five African countries: Ethiopia, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger and Senegal. In Senegal, the programme has been implemented in the Kédougou region since 2012. After a one-year pilot phase, the second phase, or consolidation phase, started in September 2013 and ended in July 2016.
2. On the one hand, this report seeks to report on business activities and to account for the outcomes achieved by the PAA Africa Senegal project. Second, it seeks to understand why some results have occurred and others have not. In addition, it draws information for the project extension phase which is supposed to begin in 2017, particularly with respect to coordination of the partnership and operational and strategic decision-making processes.
3. Numerous users are expected to make use of this evaluation report. The PAA Africa/World Food programme (WFP) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Coordination Units and their partners are the first recipients. The report will help to identify changes to the design and
implementation of the programme and raise key issues to discuss with the Government of Senegal to enhance the relevance and effectiveness of the PAA Africa
Senegal project’s extension phase. The Government of Senegal will be able to draw on valuable information collated during the Consolidation phase, both to complete the project extension phase successfully and to develop its autonomous national school feeding programme.
