Corporate Emergency Evaluation of WFP’s Response in Ukraine
Overview
The corporate emergency evaluation of WFP's response in Ukraine aimed to provide evaluation evidence and accountability for results to WFP stakeholders and enhance learning about WFP’s performance in complex emergencies.
The evaluation assessed WFP’s efforts to meet the needs of the most food-insecure people and its adherence to humanitarian principles; its strategic positioning in the humanitarian landscape; its contribution to the emergency response; and its efficiency in implementation. The evaluation also highlighted lessons learned during WFP’s response to the Ukraine crisis. The evaluation covered crisis preparedness and contingency planning as well as subsequent WFP interventions in Ukraine from the start of the war in February 2022, including the limited emergency operation that was implemented from February to December 2021 and the subsequent transitional interim country strategic plan for 2023–2024.
The evaluation concluded that despite difficult circumstances, WFP had swiftly executed a large-scale response, which highlighted its comparative advantages in emergency response, including its ability to scale up swiftly and effectively. It successfully contributed to beneficiary food security in Ukraine, sharpening its targeting over time, although there is room for further improvement. Given the current situation, WFP’s agility remains vital to Ukraine's humanitarian efforts. WFP prioritized taking a principled humanitarian approach, but an earlier and clearer acknowledgment of the trade-offs and compromises necessitated by the circumstances would have been beneficial.
Ukraine's uncertain future has implications for WFP’s ability to adjust ongoing interventions and plan for transition and exit. Furthermore, stronger evidence is crucial for fundraising, with existing monitoring and reporting systems facing challenges in consistently and compellingly demonstrating results at outcome level.
