Feed the Future Youth in Agriculture: Final Performance Evaluation

The final performance evaluation of the Feed the Future (FtF) Youth in Agriculture (YIA) project used a mixed-methods approach to examine YIA’s appropriateness in the context of the FtF Senegal strategy, the soundness of its implementation approach, the quality of its resource management, the adequacy and effectiveness of Virginia Tech’s assistance delivery, the coverage and response to beneficiaries, and the potential for sustainability. The report’s findings and conclusions describe positive outcomes, missed targets, and remaining challenges. The positive outcomes include the success of the 4-H clubs, positive impact felt by club members and leaders, the institutionalization of 4-H within the Ministry of Higher Education, Research, and Innovation (MESRI) and partner universities, and the development of curricula for the vocational training sector.
