The FAO Governing bodies have requested the FAO Office of Evaluation to conduct this evaluation, with the expected completion by July 2019. The evaluation will aim at providing evidence-based analysis of the appropriateness of the Strategy and related achievements. The Evaluation The main purpose of this evaluation is to provide FAO management and governing bodies with an assessment of the progress made by FAO towards implementing its Strategy for partnerships with the private sector.
