RANFOSE Final Performance Evaluation Report
- RANFOSE has increased the availability of fortified wheat flour and oil and contributed to improving the quality of iodized salt.
- The lack of approved application texts (regulations) is a key limitation to increasing the availability of fortified foods.
- The operating environment is highly unstable, and the availability of fortified foods is highly volatile.
- The sustainability of LSFF in Haiti cannot be guaranteed until the application texts are approved, resulting in mandatory fortification and enforcement.
- RANFOSE adapted to limited mobility due to the restrictions of the COVID - 19 pandemic or insecurity challenges.
The RANFOSE project, launched by USAID in 2017, aimed to reduce micronutrient deficiencies in Haiti by fortifying wheat flour, vegetable oil, and salt. This final performance evaluation assesses the project's progress and provides recommendations for future activities. The evaluation examines the project's effectiveness in improving the availability of adequately fortified foods for women of reproductive age and children under five, the extent of stakeholder engagement in large-scale food fortification, the effectiveness of the implementation strategy in strengthening the fortified foods supply chain, and the project's efforts to support the sustainability of food fortification. It also analyzes how RANFOSE adapted to the political, security, and economic challenges encountered during its implementation.
