Evaluating country programmes

More about the book

In 2003 the evaluation unit of the Austrian Development Cooperation (ADC) chose the Mozambique country programme as the first country programme to undergo an evaluation as a whole. This delicate process was assigned to L&R Institute for Social Research (Vienna). The country programme was assessed according to the following criteria: relevance, coherence, flexibility, effectiveness, impact, efficiency, sustainability, visibility and ownership.Through this assessment it not only became clear that there is a growing interest in country programme evaluations and the issues raised within this study, but that the entire medium of country programming and evaluation is rapidly changing.
