Published by: Independent Evaluation Department, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development
SDGs: SDG 2 - Zero Hunger
The EBRD has been supporting agribusiness sector for the last 30 years. Its Agribusiness Strategy 2019–2023 came during a period of low food prices and had to show flexibility in light of the various challenges, including COVID and the war in Ukraine. While the Agribusiness Strategy expires in 2023, this report evaluates the early results of the implementation of the Agribusiness Strategy from 2019 to 2021. It assesses to what extent the EBRD has been successful in implementing it. As EBRD is developing a new Agribusiness Strategy, this mid-term evaluation and its recommendations aim to inform the discussions of an upcoming strategy, ahead of a comprehensive evaluation of the Agribusiness Strategy 2019-2023 in 2024.
