    The “Food Security Information System Project” was originally designed by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in 2010 in close cooperation with the Ministry of Agriculture and Melioration (MoAM), Ministry of Economic and Antimonopoly Policy, National Statistical Committee (NSC) and Agency for Hydro Meteorology (Hydromet). The main objective is to increase the use of information on food security and to improve related policies in Kyrgyzstan. The project was funded by the European Union (EU) and implemented by FAO.

    This final evaluation aims to provide a critical analysis and key recommendations to improve the sustainability of the existing system and to inform the development of future projects. The methodology includes a review of existing technical and financial documents, and interviews with the main stakeholders. One field visit was made to review the Hydromet remote system, including trips to several oblasts to assess the efficiency of different devices as compared with the previous practices.

    The project focused on technical innovation to strengthen efforts to build climate resilience of smallholder producers. The project, beyond original expectations, generated an agroecological zoning modelling tool (pyAEZ) of global relevance. The project achieved many of its outputs, some of which went beyond the indicators and exceeded targets for coverage. Securing co-financing (and engaging other actors in complementary efforts) was very successful. The network of weather stations was improved along with establishing a laboratory for calibration of the sensors of the automatic weather station (AWS), and the Lao Climate Service for Agriculture (LaCSA), a decision-making tool developed by the project to provide agrometeorological advisories and early warnings. The project was found to have made a significant contribution to strengthening agroclimatic monitoring and information systems to improve adaptation to climate change and food security.
