Site Visits

Site Visits

Thanks to the support from Sida, each of the three programs conducted site visits in their respective regions during 2012-2015. The purpose of these site visits was to enable the regional programs and the Seed Alliance as a whole to gather lessons learned from the direct beneficiaries of the funding allocations, as well as to understand the context in which they operate, the network of partners they work with, and the challenges they face for the future. Although the purpose of the site visits was not to evaluate the performance of the projects, the knowledge gained from being on location greatly complemented the assessments of the projects the programs supported. The site visits were funded under the Sida grant.

  • FIRE Africa conducted 9 site visits in 4 economies
  • FRIDA conducted 7 site visits in 5 economies
  • ISIF Asia conducted 7 site visits in 5 economies

During the site visits, each regional program produced internal reports for monitoring and evaluation as well as photographic documentation.
