Ways to help the World Food Programme (WFP) improve the selection, design, interim evaluation, and redesign of its food for work and supplemental feeding projects and to meet the information needs at key decision points are assessed. A review of the life cycle of WFP food aid projects and of current project criteria and evaluation instruments reveals that: (1) WFP should select and design projects on the basis of a wide portfolio, not just in response to isolated requests. (2) WFP should, more than other agencies, evaluate projects in humanitarian rather than economic terms. Anent this, the report indicates ways to improve the collection of data on beneficiaries. (3) Although WFP's stress on major interim evaluations gives it superior flexibility in project redesign, it should pay more attention to monitoring project activities from the beginning; examples of the types of information involved and ways of presenting it are discussed. (4) WFP evaluations should highlight important points about program coverage and the targeting of the malnourished, and greater use should be made of recipient country reporting systems, e.g., Botswana's nutritional surveillance system (discussed in
