USAID Accelerating Resilience and Transformation Activity — Bangladesh

USAID Accelerating Resilience and Transformation Activity aims to transform key systems in Bangladesh’s agriculture, energy, and disaster risk management sectors and shift market signals that result in climate resilient, net-zero outcomes. This approach is centered on principles of gender equality, social inclusion of historically marginalized groups and the self-empowerment of women and youth, all of which are critical to achieving sustainable low carbon and climate-resilient development. Localized activities will be designed and implemented in partnership with Bangladeshi civil society and the private sector and include the use of strategic grants to catalyze locally led change, build capacity, and amplify impact.

Feed the Future Cambodia Harvest II Activity Final Evaluation Report

This report presents the findings from the final evaluation of the Feed the Future Cambodia Harvest II activity (Harvest II) funded by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and operating from 2017-2022. The approach taken by Harvest II represented a shift in emphasis from previous USAID-funded activities that offered support to agricultural production, moving intentionally towards a demand-driven, market systems development approach. The evaluation team was asked to assess the extent and nature of system change that resulted from the activity, and how farms and firms benefited. The team also assessed whether and how the project contributed to resilience, climate change mitigation, and environmental stewardship.
