The Benin Institutional Diagnostic
ADE in collaboration with OPM, University of Namur and Paris School of Economics just released the Benin Institutional Diagnostic. This report is based on a systematic and holistic study of the Beninese economic and institutional environment and how it operates. Overall, the research reveals a “chain of causality” between four basic areas of institutional weakness in Benin, namely corruption, weak public management, opacity of public-decision making and excessive informality, and their proximate causes. The latter are political instability, the elite capture of key state functions, the weakness of the state or state capacity and the availability of quick, easy but illegal rents. These causes are related to deep underlying factors, including the nature of the political game, essentially neo-patrimonialism with multiple economic or political “Big Men”, but also geographical or ethnic factors. The full report has been published online to provide policymakers in Benin with a comprehensive analysis aimed at identifying and alleviating institutional obstacles to faster sustainable and inclusive development. The study has also proposed a set of recommendations for improving the development outcomes of Benin.

Eswatini (former Swaziland): Evaluation of the African Development Bank’s Country Strategy and Program (2009-2018)
The African Development Bank’s Independent Development Evaluation Unit (BDEV) has commissioned ADE to carry out an evaluation of the AfDB strategy and program in Eswatini during the period 2009-2018. Overall, the evaluation found that the AfDB’s interventions in Eswatini were relevant to the country’s needs, development challenges and priorities. The portfolio was found to be well aligned with the Bank’s corporate priorities and with Eswatini’s country policies. The evaluation however found some shortcomings, including overreliance on the farmer company model in agriculture; a focus on highways rather than feeder roads in transport; and on using Swaziland Development Finance Corporation’s existing practices to reach small and medium enterprises. The evaluation has proposed a set of recommendations for improving the development outcomes of the Bank’s interventions in Eswatini. Do you want to know more on ADE’s evaluations activities?

African Development Bank - Agricultural Value Chains Evaluation
The African Development Bank’s IDEV (Independent Development Evaluation) has commissioned ADE to carry out an evaluation of nine agricultural value chain interventions by the African Development Bank over the period 2005–2016. The nine case studies were conducted as inputs to the IDEV-managed formative evaluation titled “AfDB Support for Agricultural Value Chains Development: Lessons for the Feed Africa Strategy,” which was completed in December 2017 and published early June 2018. The evaluation aimed to: i) assess the relevance, inclusiveness, effectiveness, and sustainability of the Bank’s support to value chains development; and ii) provide lessons and recommendations for the implementation and design of agricultural value chains interventions associated with the Feed Africa Strategy. The evaluation is theory-based with a focus on learning. It takes a non-traditional approach in that it does not evaluate specific investments or operations, but rather aims to understand how the Bank’s operations have applied the Agricultural Value Chains Development’s theory of change in different contexts. It draws evidence from a literature review, policy and strategy review, portfolio review and 9 country case studies in Africa: DR Congo, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Liberia, Morocco, Mozambique, Rwanda, Uganda, Zambia.

Evaluation of the European Commission's Humanitarian Interventions in India and Nepal, 2013-2017
The evaluation covered humanitarian interventions in India and Nepal during the period 2013-2017 funded by the European Commission's Directorate-General for Civil Protection and Humanitarian Aid Operations (ECHO). It included the different sectors in which support was provided, notably Shelter/Non-Food Items (NFIs), Water and Sanitation, Health, Food Assistance, Protection, Recovery and Disaster Risk Reduction. This study was selected as the “Evaluation of the month” for May 2018 by ALNAP, a leading global humanitarian evaluation network: “This evaluation is worth a look given the very different country contexts it covers. Evaluating interventions across different countries and contexts is often challenging. This evaluation succeeds in grounding its assessments in a good understanding of the local contexts, whilst avoiding the pitfall of creating two separate evaluations under one name. It’s also worth checking out Case Study 3 on operating in complex and politically sensitive environments. The case study describes the policy framework, main challenges faced and how they were mitigated, all of which helps ground the findings, conclusions and recommendations in a good understanding of the broader context.”

Evaluation of Blending
ADE has undertaken an ambitious evaluation of Blending as an EU aid modality. The term refers in particular to “blending grants with loans”. The purpose is a strategic use of a limited amount of grants to mobilise larger amounts of financing from partner financial institutions, and thereby enhance the development impact of investment projects. Since 2007 the EU has set up for this purpose a series of 7 regional investment facilities: the EU-Africa Infrastructure Trust Fund (ITF); the Neighbourhood Investment Facility (NIF); the Latin American IF (LAIF), the Caribbean IF (CIF), the IF for Central Asia (IFCA), the Asian IF (AIF) and the IF for the Pacific (IFP). They cover a broad range of sectors, from energy to transport, water/sanitation, finance for SMEs, and environment. The evaluation provides an independent assessment of blending as an aid delivery instrument which has gained significant interest and funding for the EU over the last decade. It reviews in particular the relevance, value-added, and results of Blending. It aims at informing future EU choices on blending.

Joint strategic country evaluation of the development cooperation of Denmark, Sweden and the European Union with Bangladesh (2007-2013)
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. Specific methodological and analytical attention has been invested in the evaluation of development partners’ support to primary education. The evaluation broke new ground by embedding the so-called 3-step OECD/DAC methodological approach for the evaluation of Budget Support operations within the overall country assessment. This approach has been adapted to take account of the specificities of the Bangladeshi context: evaluation of the support from two donors (EU and Sweden), to one single sub-sector (primary education), through basket fund and sector budget support, with various forms of budget support (targeted for Sweden – the ‘treasury model’ – and untargeted for the EU).

Publication of a Meta-Evaluation of Non-Governmental Development Aid Programmes
EN: Meta-Evaluation of Belgian Non-Governmental Development Aid Programmes ADE has conducted this study for Belgium’s Special Development Cooperation Evaluation Unit (SES). The purpose of this ‘meta-evaluation’ is to ‘evaluate evaluation’, with a view to improve evaluation policies and practices. This meta-evaluation assessed the quality of evaluation for programmes of non-governmental actors which were co-funded by the Belgian Directorate-General for Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Aid (DGD): NGOs, local authorities, universities, unions, etc. It also studied evaluation policy and practices at DGD itself. It aimed in particular at determining the quality of evaluation, its independence, credibility and use. It also identified common lessons learned from the evaluation reports. The final report provides on this basis a series of recommendations to DGD as well as to non-governmental actors. The meta-evaluation was based on a methodology specifically developed for this purpose by ADE, which was both rigorous and innovative. It included, inter alia, a systematic analysis of the 66 evaluation reports based on a matrix of 88 quality indicators. · To download the report, please click on the link at the bottom of the page. FR : Méta-évaluation des programmes des acteurs non gouvernementaux ADE a été mandatée pour cette étude par le Service de l’Evaluation Spéciale de la Coopération internationale belge (SES). Cette « méta-évaluation » a consisté à « évaluer l’évaluation », dans le but d’améliorer les politiques et les pratiques en matière d’évaluation. Cette méta-évaluation visait à apprécier la qualité des pratiques d’évaluation des acteurs non gouvernementaux (ONG, universités, collectivités locales, syndicats, etc.) dont les programmes ont été cofinancés par la Direction générale Coopération au développement et Aide humanitaire (DGD). Elle a également étudié la politique et les pratiques d’évaluation de la DGD elle-même. Elle visait en particulier à déterminer la qualité de l’évaluation, son indépendance, sa crédibilité et son utilité. Elle a également identifié les leçons récurrentes dans l’ensemble des évaluations. Sur cette base, le rapport final fournit une série de recommandations adressées à la DGD ainsi qu’aux acteurs non gouvernementaux. Cette méta-évaluation s’est appuyée sur une méthodologie à la fois solide et innovante, développée spécifiquement par ADE.
