Evaluation of Danish Funding for Climate Change Mitigation in Developing Countries

The objectives of the evaluation were threefold, covering both accountability and learning purposes:
  • To document achievements in terms of assisting developing countries to mitigate climate change through the provision of Danish support in the period from 2013, both through the climate change envelope (CE) and through other development assistance channels;
  • To analyse the outcomes of climate change mitigation funding, with due consideration of the opportunities and barriers at both national and global levels;
  • On the basis of the lessons learned from the evaluation, to provide recommendations pertaining to future funding priorities.
On the basis of the above, four main evaluation questions had been identified:
  • Taking into account the strategic objectives of development cooperation and the guiding principles for the CE, what are the main results of Danish funding for climate change mitigation since 2013?
  • How has climate change mitigation funding responded to the aims and needs defined by developing countries in nationally determined contributions (NDCs), leading to measurable GHG emission reductions and to pro-poor low carbon development?
  • How has climate change mitigation funding contributed to transformational change and the sustainable development goals in a manner consistent with Danish comparative advantages and opportunities and in terms of influencing global agendas for climate action?
  • What are the main lessons learned from climate change mitigation funding that can determine strategic directions and operational considerations in the coming years?
