Linpico has delivered this week the dissemination seminar for the Final Evaluation of the Vanuatu Value Chain Development (VaVaC) Programme.
Our evaluation, led by Rupinder Singh , took our agricultural value chain specialist Garth Atkinson all the way to Vanuatu for a field mission in March this year.
The evaluation found that budget support was the most relevant aid modality in the context of Vanuatu, allowing for flexibility which was key for a programme that faced the covid-19 pandemic, four cyclones, and a volcanic eruption during its implementation.
The seminar shared and discussed with EUD and Vanuatu counterparts representatives, conclusions of the evaluation, but also a set of concrete recommendations for continued EU support to value chains development in the country and in similar small island states contexts.
