The objective of this budget support evaluation was to assess the extent to which EU budget support in Peru contributed to achieve sustainable results on poverty and inequality reduction in specific sectors during the period 2009-2016.
More specifically, the evaluation aimed to take stock of what had been achieved, with the primary purpose of drawing lessons and formulating forward-looking recommendations. In particular, conclusions were to be drawn on: i) the conditions under which budget support had an effect (or not), as well as the possible intensity and nature (positive or negative) of such effects in Peru;ii)
the constraints within government policies, institutional structures, and administrative arrangements in Peru that might have hindered the overall effectiveness and impact of public spending and targeted policies, and therefore of budget support itself.
