As a holder of World Food Programme (WFP) global long term agreement for decentralized evaluations, i-APS was contracted by WFP Cambodia to conduct a midterm and final activity evaluations for the Home-Grown School Feeding Programme (HGSFP) in Cambodia, supported by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) and the Royal Government of Cambodia Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport (MoEYS) from 2020 to 2024. 

The KOICA-funded HGSFP is conducted in three target provinces, Kampong Thom, Kampong Chhnang and Pursat between January 1st, 2020 to October 31st, 2024. The project aims to link school feeding to improved nutrition, wellbeing, and rural development by stimulating agricultural growth and increasing food security through the purchase and use of locally produced food in the preparation of daily school meals. 

The project is managed by WFP and implemented in partnership with MoEYS and other non-government organizations, including World Vision.

For the midterm evaluation, i-APS conducted 1682 beneficiaries’ surveys (52% of females), 74 KIIs with the main stakeholders, and 20 FGDs (95 participants total), all within 20 days. The findings from the midterm evaluation will be used by WFP and stakeholders to implement adaptive management.

i-APS expects to complete the final endline evaluation in 2024.
