Ensuring impactful, accountable, food systems interventions.
At Food Rights Alliance (FRA), program quality is central to our mission of ensuring the Right to Adequate Food for All.
We design, implement, and evaluate our programs with a strong focus on evidence, accountability, and long-term sustainability.
Our Approach to Program Quality
We believe that high-quality programming must reflect the needs of communities while aligning with national and global food governance goals.
Our program quality framework includes:
✔️ Evidence-Based Planning
Programs are informed by research, national statistics, and grassroots insights to ensure relevance and effectiveness.
✔️ Human Rights–Based Approach (HRBA)
We center dignity, equity, participation, and accountability in all our work.
✔️ Continuous Learning & Adaptation
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) practices allow us to measure progress, capture lessons, and improve interventions over time.
Our Sustainability Pillars
Sustainability at FRA goes beyond project timelines.
We work to ensure that outcomes are resilient, scalable, and community-owned.
1. Institutional Sustainability
Strengthening internal structures, governance, and staff capacity to deliver consistently effective programs.
2. Community Ownership
Empowering communities to lead and sustain local food governance initiatives through training, mobilization, and partnerships.
