Regular monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is vital to the success of Food for Peace’s (FFP) development food security activities (DFSAs). To support DFSA M&E efforts, FANTA and FFP deliver M&E workshops at the start of new DFSAs. From January 22–25, 2018, FANTA and FFP jointly held an M&E workshop in Kampala, Uganda, for staff of new DFSAs awarded to Catholic Relief Services and Mercy Corps and their subgrantees. The five-day workshop provided technical assistance to familiarize these private voluntary organizations with FFP M&E approaches and requirements and finalize their theories of change and LogFrames, thereby strengthening activity effectiveness and accountability.
