Final evaluation of projects MLI/021 (Développement rural et sécurité alimentaire), MLI/022 (Formation et insertion professionnelle) and MLI/023 (Décentralisation et bonne gouvernance)

The mission's main objective is to carry out a final, internal and independent evaluation of the Mali – Luxembourg program (MLI/021, MLI/022, and MLI/023). In this context, the mission should:

• Analyze the results and specific objectives achieved at the end of the interventions compared to what had been planned in the technical and financial documents and the inception reports
• Analyze the results achieved by the interventions in terms of capacity building (CB). The analysis will be structured around the following four points:
  • RC support repository
  • Contribution of CD to results and changes
  • Contribution of CD to the process of partner empowerment
  • Level of institutionalization of CD
• Analyze the management and monitoring of projects/programmes, paying particular attention to:
  • the coordination mechanisms between the projects,on one hand, and on the other hand between the program and the counterparts (including the other contributing donors and the national counterpart);
  • the operation of the project steering structure;
• Analyze the interventions according to the DAC evaluation criteria
• Analyze interventions according to cross-cutting themes:
  • governance for development;
  • gender equality;
  • environment and climate change.
