Project performance evaluation (PPE) of the Rural Socioeconomic Opportunities Programme (POSER) in Cabo Verde
Published by: Independent Office of Evaluation, International Fund for Agricultural Development
The PPE found that POSER – albeit only from its second phase – emphasized access to water and thus aligned with the needs of its target population. However, certain water mobilization projects encountered technical and operational problems. Also, while beneficiaries’ income has increased, impact on the most vulnerable households remains limited.
For the future, the evaluation recommends, among other things, prioritizing investments in water management while ensuring that sustainable infrastructure maintenance practices are used. In addition, greater support should be provided to micro- and small enterprises engaging in non-agricultural activities.
