Publication Date: 2024/11/06

The Emergency Food Assistance in Nakivale (EFAN) project aimed to address the food security needs of vulnerable refugees in Nakivale settlement, Uganda, through a food voucher system. This project, running from November 2023 to October 2024, focused on groups such as pregnant and lactating women, children under two years, and child-headed households. The evaluation assessed the project’s relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability. Results showed significant improvements in food security, nutrition, and economic well-being, with 97.1% of beneficiaries reporting better meal frequency. However, challenges such as inadequate support for larger households and exclusion of older refugees were identified. The evaluation concluded with recommendations for expanding targeting criteria, extending project timelines, and integrating additional support to enhance long-term sustainability and resilience for refugees and host communities.
