Abstract: Excerpts from the Executive Summary: This is the report of an evaluation of the natural resources management (NRM) activities being implemented by a group of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) in Ethiopia supported by USAID/Ethiopia with P.L. 480 Title II resources. The five NGOs included in this study were: the Relief Society of Tigray (REST), Food for the Hungry/Ethiopia (FH/E), Catholic Relief Services (CRS), World Vision/Ethiopia, the Ethiopian Orthodox Church (EOC), and CARE. The purpose of this evaluation was threefold: provide a body of independent feedback to the NGOs and USAID regarding enhancements to ongoing programs; provide guidance for the design and formulation of future programs of this type; and to contribute to the preparation of USAID's future development agenda linked to the agriculture sector. This evaluation was carried out at the 'program level', aimed at analyzing the impact of regular food aid on the dual objectives of improved food security and environmental rehabilitation. It was not intended as an exercise to carry out a detailed input/output review or even overall goal achievement assessment of the programs evaluated.
