Summary in the original language of the document

In 2011, the Executive Council of the African Union (AU) took a decision to build an Africa wide organic agriculture platform. The African Union Commission (AUC) accepted the mandate, built the so-called Continental Steering Committee for Ecological Organic Agriculture (CSC) and launched the Ecological Organic Agriculture Initiative (EOA-I). It got support among others from SDC in the framework of the Global Program Food Security (GPFS).
Organic agriculture and agroecology are worldwide concepts that are well-defined, researched and promoted by the United Nations (e.g. the FAO Agroecology elements), governments (e.g. regulation of Organic Agriculture in over 90 countries), civil society (e.g. the global organic umbrella, IFOAM Organics International) and science (e.g. FiBL research).
SDC has been providing support to EOA-I under the project name “Mainstreaming Ecological Organic Agriculture (EOA) into Agricultural Systems in Africa”. A second phase is now being implemented, from 2019 – 2023. SDC contracted FiBL in April 2022 to implement the evaluation of the second phase of the project, based on 44 evaluation questions along the DAC/OECD evaluation criteria.
Information for this evaluation originates from various SDC/BVAT discussions, 2 hybrid stakeholder workshops in English (70 participants) and French (20 participants), 35 project documents, from 101 respondents in a stakeholder survey, 55 respondents in face-to-face (individual and group) interviews and 17 respondents in online interviews.
