Managing Aid Exit and Transformation - India Country Case Study

This is one of five country case study reports for the evaluation of Managing Aid Exit and Transformation, jointly initiated and funded by the evaluation departments of the ministries and government agencies responsible for development cooperation in Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. Based on studies of completed and ongoing exits by one or several of the four donor countries from bilateral government-to-government development cooperation with Botswana, Eritrea, India, Malawi, and South Africa the larger evaluation is intended to make a contribution towards the formulation of a shared international framework for the ending and transformation of bilateral aid relationships.

The purpose of this evaluation according to the TOR is to facilitate mutual learning on issues of exit from development co-operation partnerships at country level. Although primarily catering for the information needs of its four sponsors, it is also expected to be useful for the developing countries participating in the case studies. Moreover, it is expected that this evaluation might be useful for other countries and donors.
