The evaluation of Danish Sustainable Infrastucture Finance (DSIF) Programme served learning and accountability purposes for both the Investment Fund for Developing Countries (IFU)/DSIF and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA). This evaluation had two objectives. The first objective was to assess DSIF’s relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, development impact and sustainability as well as commercial outcomes through its investments in developing countries. The evaluation applied the updated OECD/DAC evaluation criteria to DSIF investment projects. It involved an analysis of the project portfolio in terms of geographies, sectors and types of projects and funds, and the development of the portfolio composition over time.

This independant evaluation of WFP Country Strategic Plan in Bolivia assessed the strategic positionning, added-value and results of WFP operations in the Country from 2018 to 2021.

It is envisioned that the evaluation will inform the design of the new CSP for Bolivia, which is scheduled for Executive Board consideration in November 2022.

The mid-term evaluation of the project "Boosting Rural and Rurban Economy in Times of Crisis and Beyond" (BOOST) was commissioned by WFP Nicaragua. BOOST is expected to run from 2018 to 2024 and aims to promote sustainable and resilient agri-food systems in five departments and one autonomous region of Nicaragua. The European Union is the main donor of the project.
The evaluation provided an independent assessment of all project activities in the first three years of BOOST (August 2018 to June 2021). It adopted a theory-based mixed methods approach. Data were collected remotely and during a two-week field mission, including interviews at national and local levels, focus group discussions with beneficiaries, field visits, a comprehensive document review, and analysis of existing M&E data.
In addition to the evaluation report, Particip produced a short video for dissemination purposes.

The purpose of this evaluation was the assessment of both budget support and blending operations of the EU in the Kyrgyz Republic between 2010 and 2019. The EU has implemented ten budget support programmes in the country. The EU is using blending as financing modality in Kyrgyzstan since 2011. Almost 40% of the total portfolio of funds managed by the EU Delegation to the Kyrgyz Republic is channelled through the blending instrument. Furthermore, Kyrgyzstan is the main beneficiary of the IFCA funds, with a 75% of these funds going to this country.
This evaluation entailed two components. First, it provided an assessment of EU budget support in the country applying the 3-Step approach of the OECD-DAC guidelines on the evaluation of budget support. Second, the evaluation focused on EU blending operations in Kyrgyzstan’s Energy and Water management sectors.
