ADE carried out the joint country evaluation of the development cooperation of Denmark, Sweden and the EU with Bangladesh during the period 2007-2013. The evaluation addressed both strategy-level and sector level issues. For instance, particular attention has been given to relevance of the cooperation for poverty reduction and aid effectiveness of the evaluation partners. At sector level, the assessment has been informed by an in-depth review of the dynamics in five key areas of cooperation: education, human rights and democratic governance, climate change and disaster management, gender equality and private sector development.
