Sida’s Evaluation Handbook Guidelines and Manual for Conducting Evaluations at Sida

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has adopted guidelines which sets out the role and responsibilities of the various government actors engaged in evaluation of Sweden’s development cooperation. The two main actors are Sida and the Expert Group for Aid Studies (EBA)1 , who both report to the Ministry. The Agency for Public Management (Statskontoret) may at the request of the Swedish Government also carry out studies and evaluations of Swedish development cooperation. With regards to multilateral organisations, the evaluation functions of the respective organisation are responsible of evaluating their activities, regardless of who finances them.
