With this project, CACH consolidated the achievements of previous project phases in the area of job and income creation in the agricultural sector. The proven CACH approach was to promote overall socio-economic development in the project regions and, among other things, to help reduce the pressure of migration of the local rural population to other regions in Bosnia and Herzegovina or abroad. To ensure sustainability, the project served to strengthen institutions that had been established with the support of previous CACH project phases (e.g. producer associations, extension services, national umbrella organization). Finally yet importantly, in a broader sense and context, the project aimed to further inter-ethnic rehabilitation through cooperation across ethnic boundaries and identification of common interests. Rebuilding a viable and stable multi-ethnic society was and is a contribution to stability in the region and to securing better economic prosperity in the future.

The purpose of the evaluation is accountability and to serve as a learning experience as well as to draw conclusions for the follow up of a potential new project phase or similar activities in other projects and in regard to the CACH Country Strategy 2021 - 2025. It should give insight into the achievements and/or shortcomings of the chosen approaches and methods. In particular, it should draw conclusions and give recommendations.
