This independant evaluation of WFP Multi-Country Strategic Plan (MCSP) in the Pacific assesses the strategic positionning, added-value and results of WFP operations in the region from 2022 to 2026.
The evaluation serves the double purpose of accountability (performance and result assessment) and learning (why certain results occurred or not, lessons and evidence for decision-making). It is envisioned that the evaluation will inform the design of the new MCSP for the Pacific, which is scheduled for Executive Board consideration in November 2027.
MCSP key sectors and activities include:

• Emergency preparedness and response
• Supply chains and logistics
• Institutional capacity strengthening

Cross-cutting themes included: Gender equality and empowerment of women (GEEW), inclusion, accountability to affected populations (AAP), protection, nutrition integration, environment, humanitarian principles.
The evaluation employs a mixed-method approach that triangulates qualitative and quantitative data from a variety of sources. For this purpose, the evaluation team is conducting interviews with different stakeholders including WFP staff at HQ, regional and country level, WFP cooperating partners, donors, UN agencies, and government entities.
