Evaluation Study on Experiences with Conducting Evaluations Jointly with Partner Countries

The study focuses mainly on lessons learnt with respect to involvement of partner countries and partner country institutions in evaluation work as this aspect of joint evaluations has so far only been documented to a limited extent. Even so, it should be noted that four of the nine evaluations covered by the study were done jointly with both partner countries and other development partners/donor agencies.
This report presents the findings, conclusions and recommendations of the study and comprises four parts: an introductory part outlining study objectives and the methodology applied (Chapters 1-2); a brief presentation of other donor policies/practices (Chapter 3); a presentation of joint partner-donor evaluation experiences structured around the key evaluation elements such as evaluation management, evaluation design/implementation, evaluation dissemination/follow-up, and evaluation utility focusing primarily on the Danida experiences (Chapters 4-72); and a concluding chapter outlining the conclusions and recommendations (Chapter 8).
