2 Result Area 1 Result question 1a: To what extent have hunger and malnutrition been reduced? Reduce malnutrition Reducing malnutrition is a long-term task. It requires strong investments on a long term basis. In Burundi, its reduction is not constant and the results change every year. Extraordinary results were registered in 2014, however a regression started in 2015 with slight improvements in 2016 despite the crisis which started in The crisis forced some families to leave their fields and crops. Indicator 1: Prevalence of undernourishment 58,8 40 N/A N/A 48 60,5 44,4 EFSA2017 Indicator 2: Prevalence of moderate or severe food insecurity in the population, based on the Food Insecurity Experience Scale Indicator 3: Prevalence of stunting (height for age <-2 standard deviation from the median of the World Health Organization (WHO) Child Growth Standards) among children under 5 years of age Indicator 4: Prevalence of malnutrition (<-2 standard deviation from the median of the WHO Child Growth Standards) among children under 5 years of age, by type (wasting ) N/A to be defined / 40 N/A N/A N/A 46% (total insécurité modérée et sévère) 56 EFSA ,7 (ssource EDS 2010), 40 57,7 (source EDS2012) N/ A 48,8 (source: CFSVA) N/A 56 EDS ,6 MUAC ( Bujumbura rural et 5,8 (source EDS 2010) 40 5,8 (source: EDS, 2010) N/A 5,5 (source: CFSVA, 2014) Rumonge, Cibioke, Kirundo et Makamba : 5 EDS 2017 hot spots) Result question 1b: To what extent has your programme contributed to this result? Some of our activities are specifically designed and aimed at enhancing nutrition and figth again malnutrition With this respect WFP Burundi received funding from our Embassy to implement food and nutrition security programme which aims at contributing to SDG 2 targets (ensure access to food, end malnutrition, increase smallholder farmer productivity and income, and ensure sustainable and resilient food systems). Throuhg collaboration between our partners (WFP UNICEF) campains are orginized to raise awareness about the need of well feeding kids. In this sense campaigns and home visits are organized to ensure targeted communities are well informed about the importance of addressing micronutrient deficiencies through involvement in program implementation. WFP used three different channels to distribute micronutrient powder MNPs to target beneficiaries. Distribution channels used to reach beneficiaries included : i) community distribution, mass campaign and distribution at local level. WFP and UNICEF worked jointly to implement micronutrient powder distribution and collaborated closely with the Ministry of Health at different levels. MoH staff led the different cycle of the MNP distribution from planning to evaluation. Also trough this project a good number of people (received) benefited from intra-household sharing of locally fortified maize flour received by the 6,000 and 3,000 pregnant and lactating women enrolled in the stunting prevention programme. To increase the nutrition value of the food ration provided to children at school, WFP promoted the planting of moringa trees and the consumption of moringa leaves in 20 schools and surrounding communities in Cibitoke provinces.

3 Assessment of results achieved by NL across the entire Result Area 1 Assess achieved results compared to planning: Reduce malnutrition B. Results achieved as planned WFP has adopted an integrated approach designed around three components a) Purchase for Progress, School Meals and Nutrition Our NGO partner disseminated clear messages on infant and young child feeding practices and worked closely with community members to organize culinary demonstration sessions to promote dietery diversity using locally available food. Culinary demonstration took place to show the best way of how and with what to preprare melals for the familly and specifically for the kids. MoH with the support of WFP and UNICEF conducted baseline and final evaluation to draw lessons from the first phase and develop national guidelines on home - based fortification. Given the encouraging results of the first phase, the MoH a decide to scale up home - based fortification in other provinces to tackle micronutrient deficiences. The progress in introducing renewable cooking fuel remains a challenge for which WFP is strongly encouraged and assisted by EKN. In 2017 WFP is planning to construction around 200 instititional stoves (in addition to the 108 already constructed in 2016). WFP will also promote the production of mobile household fuel-efficient stoves in the three provinces covered by the programme. The model will spread trough the neigboring community to give a good example to the population and avoid harming forests. The plan is to produce up to 10,000 rmobile household fuel-efficient stoves by December 2017, including in Gitega province (with EU funds). En-Dev will be strongly connected to WFP but also the other programs, particularly PAPAB. The same applies for the nutrition components: better integration, more quality and more scaling-up including with the centrally funded UNICEF program. Result Area 2 Result question 2a: To what extent has inclusive and sustainable growth in the agricultural sector been realised? Growth has been relatively low in agriculture sector. Regression is observed in some areas of the country. We are awaiting the 2016 reports to know whether there is improvement or regression in general. Indicator 1: Volume of production per labour unit by classes of farming/pastoral/forestry enterprise size 1,700,000 (t EC) 1,900,000 1,700,000 1,700,000 1,838,682 1,785,883 ND Based on estimated figures yet to receive, we can conclude the following : results (ENAB 2016) will be more or less same like the previous (2015) Indicator 2: Average income of small-scale food producers, by sex and indigenous status N/A to be determined N/A BIF 417,651 BIF 463,125 BIF 494,920 ND Based on estimated figures yet to receive, we can conclude the following : results (ENAB 2016) will be more or less same like the previous (2015) Result question 2b: To what extent has your programme contributed to this result?

4 Assessment of results achieved by NL across the entire Result Area 2 Assess achieved results compared to planning:. [B] Results more or less achieved as planned, but due to the crisis migration occurred in some regions which destabilized communities. Some external assistantance was not provided or delayed because of negative travel advice. The negative effects of climate change was experienced in several parts of the country and in general the enabling environment (availability inputs, markets/transport and business climate) detoriated causing some negative impact on results. In general this is due to the designing process making sure that programs are favourable for obtaining results. E.g. for seeds (ISSD), the strategy adopted the logic of the seed value chain sector (value chain approach) and offers good prospects for and guarantees for sustainable development results within the sector. Assessment done by SCOPEInsight showed the main domains to be strengthen for each cooperatives. The cooperatives had weaknesses in management, but most of them had an action plan, which not always could be implemented due to lack of resources, but the selfhelp approach (not always applied in the Burundian context..) shows more and better results Farmers appreciated the opportunity of the project to reach the WFP market and were willing to invest more. Contracts signed with cooperatives is sstrategic to help them to get more easily access to credit through microfinance institutions and also appropriate banks and produce. More and more EKN strives to stimulate for synergies between our own programs and those of other actors (DP, IFDAD, WB, Un and NGO's/CBO's) including the government. Work with all actors to create more synergies, improve and increase results while contributing to influence adjustments of national policies for more impact. Another underlying aim is to prevent further decline towards humanitairian crisis and/or assistance. Result Area 3 Result question 3a: To what extent have ecologically sustainable food systems been created? Create ecologically sustainable food systems Strong efforts are made to address the lack of agricultural productivity and to develop the agricultural sector. To achieve this, the national plan is under revision to enable the agriculture sector development. Nevertheless, the current (or lack of) performance is quite linked with the crisis in the country. Indicator 1: Proportion of agricultural area under productive and sustainable agriculture N/A 74, ICCO project report Indicator 2: Number of plant and animal genetic resources for food and agriculture secured in either medium or long term conservation facilities 0 to be determined N/A N/A Indicator 3: Proportion of local breeds, classified as being at risk, notat-risk or unknown level of risk of extinction 0 to be determined N/A N/A N/A N/A N/A Result question 3b: To what extent has your programme contributed to this result? Thanks to PAPAB, a new approach is expanding and gives very good prospects for developing a sustainable agriculture: market-oriented and using methods (agricultural techniques) that reconcile respect for the environment and intelligent growth and productivity ( The PIP approach : Plan Intégré Paysans ) Thus, planning is a very essential step in getting agricultural producers / farmers to make an informed commitment and to practice responsible agriculture. All aspects of the problem are in the so called integrated farmer s planning response / PIP (integrated resources managment : of which soil and water are included). Indicator 1: Total number of hectares of farmland (including pastures and fish ponds) reached (direct) ,135 ha 159 ENAB 7350 Indicator 1a: Reached number of hectares farmland used more ecoefficiently (direct) N/A 74, PAPAB report 7350 PAPAB + PNSEB eports Indicator 1b: Reached number of hectares farmland that became part of improved NRM (direct) N/A 74, PAPAB + PNSEB reports 7350 PAPAB + PNSEB reports Indicator 1c: Reached number of hectares farmland with agroecosystems that became more resilient to possible stresses and/or shocks (direct) N/A 74, ICCO report 7350

5 Assessment of results achieved by NL across the entire Result Area 3 Assess achieved results compared to planning: Create ecologically sustainable food systems [ ]B. Results achieved more or less as planned but here also the negative enabling environment due to the crisis. The (extra) indepth investments required for NRM were in general more negatively affected by the crisis then the regular activities during a planting season. Also the limited investments in land administration is a limiting factor for NRM results. Degradation of soils and natural resources is still on the increase in Burundi. A new anti-erosion policy has been designed, but implementation (at a national level) is still to start. EKN will increase its actions in the NRM field by better and more mainstreaming (EnDev etc.) in on-going programs and with the WB and other partners it will invest in landscape restoration (restauration paysages; 55 mln.). The obtained results are mainly due to the PIP appraoch of the PAPAB program through which the farming families are practically anabled to apply measurements which reverse negative impact and provide quick, tangible and visible results. The PIP makes farmers becoming more aware of the situation and ways the land /soil is threatened. They integrated agroforestry than before and fight more effectively aiganst erosin. More and better results are expected in the near future with the recorded success thanks this approach. EKN is requested to take the lead in a platform coordinating NRM investments including WB-project. NRM-issues will be fully integrated in all EKN interventions including micro-financing, value chain development and agri-business. A comprehensive approach is sought as NRM is (particularly in Burundian context) a perquisite for any sort of increased food security/production and sustainable development. To what extent have general enabling conditions for food and nutrition security (incl. private sector development conditions) been strengthened? The broader picture The overall business environment involves improving legal and regulatory frameworks. Various entities, bodies and organizations have been strengthened in order to enable them to play their full role in the agricultural orientation and production function.
