This formative evaluation covers the five-year (2016-2021) Canadian Foodgrains Bank (CFGB) grant agreement with Global Affairs Canada (GAC) for $125 million. It assesses CFGB’s performance and value added in addressing humanitarian needs and alignment with relevant policies over the period, in order to assist GAC in its decisions on the renewal of CFGB’s core funding. A grant agreement provided funding for CFGB food assistance, nutrition, public engagement and public policy programs, as well as a contribution to program management and overhead costs.[1] Under the terms of the program, CFGB contributed matching funds on a one to four matching basis. Assistance - largely aimed at addressing food security and nutrition needs of affected populations - was provided through 155 discrete initiatives in 31 countries. Actions were implemented by 15 CFGB member agencies and their partners, with CFGB headquarters (HQ) providing overall coordination, technical support and liaison with GAC.
