Evaluation

OPM has undertaken evaluations and reviews of programmes and initiatives for a number of bilateral and multilateral donors. These have focussed on relevance, efficiency, effectiveness and impact, and have increasingly addressed the ability of organisations to address the challenges of changing policy context. The evaluations fall into three categories:

• Independent evaluations of multi-donor initiatives. This includes an evaluation of PARIS21, and of the related World Bank Trust Fund for Statistical Capacity Development.

• Evaluations and reviews of bilateral assistance, at the level of country strategies and of support to multilateral agencies. OPM has undertaken evaluations of DFID country programmes in Brazil, Cambodia and Romania, as part of a process of developing guidance for future Country Programme Evaluations in DFID. Reviews for DFID and for Development Cooperation Ireland of their supplementary funding and partnership agreements with IFAD.

• Impact assessments. OPM staff are currently involved in evaluations/poverty impact assessments of DFID's Renewable Natural Resource Research Strategy (involving all ten of DFID's RNRRS programmes) and of the Hill Agricultural Research Programme in Nepal (see OPM's Rural and Natural Resource Portfolio).

OPM sees evaluations as serving an important role in addressing issues of accountability but also for lesson learning and improving future strategic engagement.
