Just Results conducted the mid-term evaluation of the Food for Progress (FFPr) Trade Safe (TraSa) project, funded by the USDA FFPr program and implemented by IESC in the Dominican Republic. TraSa focuses on the commercialization and safety of fresh fruits and vegetables leaving and entering the Dominican Republic. Just Results employed a mixed-methods approach that built on the work of the baseline evaluation and drew from data collected by the project’s monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) team. Fieldwork included surveys of horticulture farmers, key informant interviews (KIIs) and focus group discussions (FGD) with stakeholders including value chain actors, project and partner staff, government representatives, and civil society actors. The final product was an evaluation report assessing the effectiveness and impact of the project.
