Download or read book The Road to Results written by Linda G. Morra-Imas and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2009 with total page 611 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'The Road to Results: Designing and Conducting Effective Development Evaluations' presents concepts and procedures for evaluation in a development context. It provides procedures and examples on how to set up a monitoring and evaluation system, how to conduct participatory evaluations and do social mapping, and how to construct a "rigorous" quasi-experimental design to answer an impact question. The text begins with the context of development evaluation and how it arrived where it is today. It then discusses current issues driving development evaluation, such as the Millennium Development Goals and the move from simple project evaluations to the broader understandings of complex evaluations. The topics of implementing 'Results-based Measurement and Evaluation' and constructing a 'Theory of Change' are emphasized throughout the text. Next, the authors take the reader down 'the road to results, ' presenting procedures for evaluating projects, programs, and policies by using a 'Design Matrix' to help map the process. This road includes: determining the overall approach, formulating questions, selecting designs, developing data collection instruments, choosing a sampling strategy, and planning data analysis for qualitative, quantitative, and mixed method evaluations. The book also includes discussions on conducting complex evaluations, how to manage evaluations, how to present results, and ethical behavior--including principles, standards, and guidelines. The final chapter discusses the future of development evaluation. This comprehensive text is an essential tool for those involved in development evaluation.

Book excerpt: The ADR Republic of the Congo covered the period from 2004-2007 and has supported the process of developing the new country programme 2009-2013. The evaluation report concludes that the UNDP has made judicious decisions in the selection of its areas of intervention but it is now time to question the pertinence of continuing post-conflict type of activities beyond the current programme cycle. The evaluation recommends that the next country programme should build upon the demonstrated comparative advantages of UNDP in the Congo, namely its support for good governance, its pro-poor and community development approach, its regional approach to environmental issues and its strong advocacy capability. It should gradually phase out activities directly related to the post-conflict period and peace building should become the underlying theme for most activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This report presents an independent country-level evaluation conducted by the UNDP Evaluation Office in 2010. The evaluation examined the strategic relevance of UNDP support and its contribution to the development of Malawi from 2002 to 2011. The evaluation found some highly successful interventions that have helped situate UNDP as an important partner. UNDP has done exemplary work in supporting elections, strengthening communities to hold the Government accountable, empowering women for financial inclusion and managing disasters. In moving forward, UNDP performance would be strengthened by improving coherence among its programmes, balancing the nature of upstream and downstream work, expanding partnerships and improving the quality of programme design to enhance sustainability. It will be important to continue to address poverty reduction, equity and justice in a more strategic manner, while expanding the use of national systems for implementation. Upstream policy work to address human development would be strengthened by supporting the Government to develop frameworks for effective implementation of policies"--Publisher's website.

Book excerpt: As a core area of the work of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Evaluation Office (EO), an Assessment of Development Results (ADR) seeks to independently and systematically assess progress around key initiatives in countries that receive UNDP support. This ADR is the 69th EO evaluation, and the 9th conducted within Arab States. This is the first ADR conducted in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), taking place close to the end of the current 2008-2012 programming cycle. In 1999, the UNDP Executive Board recognized the importance of UNDP support to net contributor countries in their pursuit of the objectives of sustainable human development. Since then, UNDP has been providing a range of development services to 69 middle- and high-income countries, including 46 net contributor countries. There are five net contributing countries in the Arab States region: Bahrain, Kuwait, Libya, Saudi Arabia and the UAE. The UNDP-UAE relationship is, therefore, structured around the UNDP definition of a net contributor country, which implies that the UAE government finances all programmes UNDP undertakes. The ADR examines how well UNDP responded to development priorities in the context of a net contributor and high-income country. This evaluation found that the UNDP role over the past eight years has been relatively uniform, with the main focus on providing institutional and human resource development services required by the government. The country's net contributor status means that the UNDP programme responds to government agencies' demand for services. While policy engagement varied over the years, the evaluation found that UNDP programme strategies can be better adapted to respond to UAE development priorities. The evaluation also raises important issues for UNDP programming in net contributing and high-income countries such as the UAE. Some of the issues discussed include: the framework that should guide substantive programme content; operational policies in net contributing countries; constraints in mobilizing resources; and the need for broader partnership strategies. The evaluation concludes that continued UNDP presence in the UAE necessitates securing focused development partnerships and developing a medium-term programme strategy that aims at a more substantive engagement in the country's development discourse. In addition, the country programme should focus on addressing the human development disparity between the northern and southern emirates. The evaluation recommends that UNDP leverage its organizational strength to strategically engage in key development issues and to further global development partnerships. UNDP needs to make a strong commitment to support northern emirates in addressing their development priorities, particularly by contributing to ongoing government efforts to bridge the developmental gap among the emirates. It is our hope that this evaluation will help UNDP further leverage its strategic partnership with the Government of United Arab Emirates -- Publisher's website.

Book excerpt: "The Assessment of Development Results is one of the main tasks of the Independent Evaluation Office. It seeks to analyse systematically and independently the progress of key UNDP programmes in countries that receive its support. This ADR was carried out in close collaboration with the Algerian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MAE), to ensure that the findings are credible and useful, and ultimately appropriated by the national partners. The assessment process was jointly supervised by the Independent Evaluation Office, the UNDP Country Office and the Regional Bureau for the Arab States, and carried out by an independent team, under the guidance of a manager from the Independent Evaluation Office. This approach allowed both the Algerian Government and the Independent Evaluation Office to ensure that evaluation standards, such as independence, impartiality and methodological rigour, were respected. The evaluation team was given access to documents produced by a range of national partners, as well as from various recent exercises such as the 2011 repositioning of UNDP in Algeria, and the 2009 joint assessment for a priority action plan for Algeria. Bringing the national context into the report in this way is useful for national partners and also allows UNDP to organise its work in a more strategic manner. The evaluation shows that UNDP achieved a number of significant results over the assessment period. However, the effectiveness of its work, in terms of expected outcomes or impacts, was only moderately satisfactory. This is because large-scale and sustainable transformations, beyond the expected outputs of initiated projects, were not made. The performance of UNDP was affected by a number of factors, both internal and external, and particularly by the terrorist attack on its premises in December 2007. The recommendations of this report seek to help UNDP improve its effectiveness and its strategic position in Algeria. Having looked at what did and did not work over the last five years, as well as the underlying reasons, the report offers guidelines for the roles that UNDP could play in the future. The Independent Evaluation Office sincerely hopes that the results of this evaluation will allow UNDP to increase and improve its support to the Algerian Government and other national partners, for the human development of the country. We also hope that it will help to establish the future strategy of UNDP and that the recommendations will feed into improvements in the management and implementation of the programme. We consider that this evaluation is particularlu timely, taking place alongside the country strategic planning process and the new country programme cycle, as well as the implementation of processes to ensure a more reliable and sustainable future." from the foreword by Indran A. Naidoo.
