FIDP’s overall objective is to achieve a sustainable improvement in the livelihoods of rural communities through diversifying farmers’ incomes. This is to be achieved by assisting smallholder farmers to consider farming as a business rather than a means of subsistence, while at the same time conserving and enhancing the natural resource base upon which production depends. Through an integrated approach the programme supports: the sustainable use of soil and water resources; a diversification and intensification of agricultural production; the strengthening of farmer organizations; and the marketing of produce.

The general objective of the consultancy was to undertake the mid-term evaluation of the FIDP.
The consultants also provided recommendations for the design of the potential phase two of the programme including examining a number of possible modalities, compliance with the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and the proactive integration of cross cutting issues.
