Addressing the well-recognized evidence gap on the longer-term impacts created by market driven programming, this report presents the findings of an ex-post study conducted three and a half years after the close of USAID’s Feed the Future Senegal Naatal Mbay Activity in 2019.
This evaluation examines the scale and sustainability of changes resulting from Naatal Mbay’s introduction of an integrated finance model (IFM) in the domestic rice sector. It is the first in a series of ex-post evaluations on USAID-funded MSD interventions around the world and summary briefs are available in both English and French.
