Recognizing the importance of monitoring and evaluating (M&E) the impact of the water-energy-food nexus (WEF) interventions on food security and resource use in agriculture, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) signed a Letter of Agreement with the Dutch institution, Free University Amsterdam (Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam) to build an M&E framework tailored to the unique context of the Caribbean.
To ensure its practical implementation, representatives from Free University Amsterdam (VU) conducted a series of one-day trainings with beneficiary farmers, extension staff and technical officers of the Ministries of Agriculture in each of the participating countries of Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Jamaica, and Saint Kitts and Nevis.
