This global case study aims to provide an in-depth assessment of the collective response to the COVID-19 pandemic within the SIDS group of countries, with a focus on the extent to which the response efforts took into account the unique characteristics of SIDS and tailored the response accordingly. The case study covers the response to both direct and indirect impacts of the pandemic in SIDS, from January 2020 to December 2022.

More specifically, the case study examines support to SIDS through various financing instruments and programmes by diverse donors, across a wide range of thematic areas. It encompasses assistance labelled as “COVID-related” as well as, to the extent possible, other sectors, acknowledging the pandemic’s wide-ranging socio-economic impact.

Enabel commissioned the end-term evaluation (ETE) of the Water and Sanitation Kigoma Region Project (WASKIRP).

The WASKIRP project was aligned with Tanzania's development goals under the Water Sector Development Programme (WSDP) (2006–2025) by enhancing water infrastructure, supporting Community-Based Water Supply Organisations (CBWSOs), and providing Water, Sanitation, and Health (WASH) training to ensure sustainable village water services. The initiative, backed by an initial budget of €8.8 million (€8 million from Belgium and €800,000 from Tanzania), collaborated with local authorities, including the Rural Water and Sanitation Agency (RUWASA) and community leaders, to address water supply challenges across six districts in the Kigoma region, serving approximately 200,000 residents across 15 villages.

The end-term evaluation aimed to generate evidence-based findings that highlighted both the project's positive impacts and its added value, while also identifying areas requiring further attention from the WASKIRP phase-out intervention team and the Enabel formulation teams.

Beyond assessing project performance, the evaluation provided actionable and realistic recommendations aligned with its objectives, offering valuable guidance for future interventions in similar sectors.

A key component of the evaluation was the extraction of lessons learned from both the project formulation and implementation phases, emphasising experiences—both positive and negative—that had influenced performance, achievement of results, and impact generation.

The ETE covered all OECD-DAC evaluation criteria (relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, impact, and sustainability), albeit at varying levels of depth. The primary focus was on the specific analysis of efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability. The evaluation was conducted in accordance with the principles and criteria established by the OECD and the DAC for Development Aid, with adjustments made by Enabel.

It integrated cross-cutting themes such as gender and the environment, as well as horizontal aspects, including results-based steering and monitoring. In line with the human rights-based approach, special attention was given to gender in this intervention, which was designed to be as environmentally neutral as possible.

The main objectives of this evaluation were to provide the relevant EU services and interested stakeholders with:

• An overall independent analysis of the performance of the Justice Sector Support Programme (JSSP), paying particular attention to its different levels of results in comparison with its expected objectives, and the reasons for these results;
• The main lessons, conclusions and recommendations arising from it in order to improve current and future interventions.

In particular, this evaluation serves to understand the performance of the YSAP, its determining factors and those that have hindered the achievement of results, so as to be accountable for the use of EU resources in relation to the results of the YSAP and to serve as a basis for reflection for the next strategic programming of Team Europe in Togo.

The general objective of this assignment was to provide UNDP, national governments, and other key stakeholders with an independent assessment of the contributions of UNDP’s country programmes in Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan toward achieving national development priorities and the Sustainable Development Goals.

The specific objectives of the evaluations

• To provide an assessment, in both qualitative and quantitative terms, of the relevance, implementation conditions, and performance of UNDP country programmes, particularly their efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability, impact, and added value, with an emphasis on experiences from the design and execution of programme activities;
• To evaluate UNDP’s cooperation potential with national and international stakeholders and its added value within the broader development ecosystem in Central Asia;
• To identify lessons learned (both positive and negative), best practices, and actionable recommendations, particularly regarding the efficiency and effectiveness of the programmes and the factors that facilitated or hindered their contributions to national and regional development objectives.

The results of these evaluations informed the preparation of the next UNDP Country Programme Documents, contributing to enhanced programme design and implementation in the region. They also strengthened accountability to stakeholders and fostered institutional learning within UNDP, while aligning with the broader objectives of the United Nations Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework.

The geographical scope of this evaluation covered Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.

The thematic scope encompassed UNDP’s interventions across several key ars:

• Governance and institutional reforms, with a focus on transparency, accountability, and digital transformation;
• Inclusive economic development, including private sector engagement, social protection, and green and digital economies;
• Environment and climate resilience, particularly in disaster risk reduction, renewable energy, and sustainable urban development.

The evaluation seeks to assess the performance of the project FED/2019/408-193, measuring results against objectives, evaluating relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability and impact, and identifying lessons learnt, conclusions and related recommendations to revise the successor project 2024/455-047. The evaluation's recipients include relevant EU services (DG INTPA, EEAS, EUD Angola), the Ministry of Planning and the Ministry of External Relations of the Republic of Angola, the implementing partner (CESO) as well as civil society and the wider public.

The EU-Angola Dialogue Facility, approved in March 2019, aim at enhancing political cooperation and transversally supporting the implementation of policy priorities of Angola’s National Indicative Programme (NIP) 2014-2020, the National Development Plan (PND) 2018-2022, and the Joint Way Forward (JWF) recommendations. It further aims at reinforcing the capacity of Angola line ministries and contributing to better multisector coordination for more effective policy preparation and implementation. Angolan civil servants in the line ministries are at the centre of the capacity building activities, receiving training on how to prepare and submit proposals, and targeted capacity building on specific thematic topics of the dialogue. On the other hand, civil society, academia, and the private sector, EU institutions and EU Member States (MS) are also addressed within the framework of dialogue partnerships. At the impact level, an increased cooperation is expected between the EU, EU MS and Angola that significantly boosts policy implementation in Angola.

The ongoing programme to support financial and administrative governance in Mauritania (PAGFAM) reflects the commitment of both the EU and Mauritania to support public finance reforms, in line with the European Union's Multiannual Indicative Programme (MIP-EU) 2021-2027, particularly Priority Area 3 - Governance, which focuses on economic governance and national public administration. The programme's overall objective is to enhance economic and administrative governance by promoting the reform of public finances and national administration, benefiting the various sectors that underpin public action. Specifically, the project aims to support reforms in public finances, public administration, and the civil service to make them more efficient and improve the quality of service to citizens.

The expected results from the implementation of each component of the programme, in line with the specific objective mentioned, include: the coordination and management of public finance reform, as well as the coordination of government action and the implementation of public administration reform. Across all of these components and subcomponents, the programme is intended to support the relevant departments and follow a logic of skills transfer.

The evaluation will focus on the intervention(s) using the six standard OECD-DAC evaluation criteria, namely: relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability, and impact prospects.
