To support the planning for the upcoming evaluation of the Indonesia Country Program, the International Assistance Evaluation division (PRA) has commissioned a literature review of findings and lessons learned arising from donor evaluations of official development assistance (ODA) programs and projects in Indonesia as well as academic sources.
The purpose of this study was to review available thematic evaluations, country programme evaluations and major project evaluations in Indonesia. In addition, it was agreed to gather, on a best effort basis, information on how ODA support has evolved for countries with an economy in transition, with focus on Colombia, South-Africa and Nigeria.
The study focused on six sectors: sustainable economic growth, natural resource management, technical and vocational education and training, advancing democracy, public sector capacity building, regulatory reform and the six DAC criteria (relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability).
