The present study is an assessment and evaluation based research that intended tornexamine World Bank Food security Project in Oromia Regional State from a genderrnperspective. To arrive at the desired objectives, both quantitative and qualitativernapproaches were applied. Three data collecting instruments were used. Structuredrnquestionnaire was designed and administrated to 176 sample respondents. Four focusrngroup discussions each with ten members were conducted. In-depth interview schedulernwas designed and conducted with twelve respondents. Furthermore, four key informantsrnselected from project officers were also interviewed.rnTextual explanation and narration of the summarized data was applied upon thernqualitative data while descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage and meanrnformed a substantial part of analysis for the quantitative data. Mc Nemar test wasrnperformed to test the improvements brought up on the beneficiaries' food security afterrnthe intervention of the project. Chi square was performed to see the association betweenrnthe opinion of female and male respondents on gender sensitivity of the project's designrnand coordination as well as on integrating gender issues in the project intervention.rnResults indicated that the project under study is quite efficient in improving food securityrnstatus of the beneficiaries. The study also revealed that the project's benefit favors malernbeneficiaries over the female and this was due to several reasons among which lessrngender responsiveness of the project's goal and indicators, women's less representationrnin the project's design and coordination, religious dogma and traditional practices thatrndevaluate women's productive role, and female beneficiaries' over load with triple rolesrnare the common. The major policy implication of the current study is that some of thernobjectives, indicators, and approaches of the project under study need to be revised inrnsuch away that they must be gender responsive.
