2. Focus – Evaluability of SDG2 “How can the need for accountability for development be satisfied in a situation where development processes are becoming increasingly complex. More actors will be contributing to the achievement of SDG2? How to address the problem of individual accountability for support of complex processes and partnerships?” Accountability can be satisfied – we have, or are building, the tools. Are we open and ready for accountability for learning? Accountability can be satisfied – we have, or are building, the tools. Are we open and ready for accountability for learning? Celebrate and strengthen the involvement of actors!

3. Addressing complexity Blue marble evaluation – seeing it as it is! AEA Eval2015 Michael Quinn Patton Accountability – is the earth round? Evaluation – accountability + learning. Dynamic, searches for reason and change Acknowledge complexity and present realities and experiences New tools: real time and process evaluations, bigdata, visualizations Accountability – is the earth round? Evaluation – accountability + learning. Dynamic, searches for reason and change Acknowledge complexity and present realities and experiences New tools: real time and process evaluations, bigdata, visualizations

4. Accountability for what in SDG2? Food security dimensions + sub-systems Availability – water & soil productivity, yields, production, farming systems Access – transportation, processing, value chains, affordability, trade flow Utilization – consumption, diversity, balance, consumer patterns Stability – effect of seasonality, food banks, conflict, climate change  New tools available for measuring e.g. Geo-tagging, Point of sale metrics, climate change science Availability – water & soil productivity, yields, production, farming systems Access – transportation, processing, value chains, affordability, trade flow Utilization – consumption, diversity, balance, consumer patterns Stability – effect of seasonality, food banks, conflict, climate change  New tools available for measuring e.g. Geo-tagging, Point of sale metrics, climate change science

5. Complexity and accountability (per sub-system) E.g. Value chain Logistics/time Safety/risks $ Flow (capital & cash) Technology Primary production Post-harvest processing Manufactur- ing Wholesale/ retail Consump- tion Demand/ Waste/ Re- investment World Business Council for Sustainable Development (adapted), 2015 Project outputs: Stakeholder mtgs VC plans New veg varieties Evaluation: Participants: SH mtgs no use capital late no fertiliser season delayed Production not viable Increased indebtedness No improved food supply Impact 

6. Complexity: Increasing number of actors Key stakeholdersWhat accountability means? Development financiers$ account - ability National Governmentsac – count # - ability People account - ability Celebrate and strengthen the involvement of actors! Acknowledge accountability interests of ALL actors Invest in unique stakeholders “organisations” Together they will solve the problems of accountability and learning Celebrate and strengthen the involvement of actors! Acknowledge accountability interests of ALL actors Invest in unique stakeholders “organisations” Together they will solve the problems of accountability and learning

7. Accountability and learning Accountability counts the known. Learning acknowledges the unknown It highlights the miracles and failures These should be a focus for formative and research-based evaluation

8. Individual accountability for SDG2 MY accountability - Self-assessment questions Am I addressing the real issues? Am I a good partner toward solving issues? Are my processes working as expected? Are I learning from miracles and mistakes- in time to make changes? Do my efforts reduce hunger/malnutrition?

9. Collective accountability for SDG2 Complexity - recognise and acknowledge the real situation; new measures for process quality Accountability – embrace new tools Partnerships – new approaches to strengthen and measure partnership quality Improve - Transparency about failure as well as success Focus - on learning Complexity - recognise and acknowledge the real situation; new measures for process quality Accountability – embrace new tools Partnerships – new approaches to strengthen and measure partnership quality Improve - Transparency about failure as well as success Focus - on learning

10. ACHIEVEMENT OF SDG2 Requires higher intelligence Faster change, in a better way EVALUABILITY OF SDG2 Targets provides focus for what we are going to change Evaluation must include accountability and learning Evaluation has to adapt and become more relevant to facilitate change and achievement of the SDGs It has to evaluate accountability for learning.
