The present case study was conducted as a part of the Regional Evaluation of World Food Programme’s (WFP) Contribution to Shock-Responsive Social Protection in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). At the onset of the evaluation, the evaluation team identified that country capacity strengthening was a relevant topic to delve into given its importance for making social protection systems more responsive. Building on this insight, the evaluation team analysed data relevant to capacity development collected throughout the evaluation process which included a survey that garnered 104 responses and interviews with 174 internal and external stakeholders across the region.
