The evaluation assessed the relevance and contribution of FAO’s work in the Caribbean and aimed to identify inputs to inform decision-making for the planning of FAO’s future engagement in the subregion. The Subregional Office for the Caribbean (SLC) provides strategic and relevant support to countries in the subregion and to partner organizations leveraging FAO’s global technical expertise and networks in numerous thematic areas. The evaluation also found that administrative and operational capacity is challenged by institutional demands, contextual considerations, and is also constrained by logistical challenges related to the multi-country setting SLC covers. Among the recommendations, the evaluation proposes that SLC further improve its administrative and operational efficiency with collaboration of relevant FAO units and implement a portfolio development strategy. It also recommends that FAO further implement the reform of the regional structure and review the current regional mechanisms and processes to support the subregion.
