Sida’s biodiversity reporting 2024

This annual report provides an overview of what and how Sida evaluates. The report summarises the evaluation year 2025 at Sida with regard to the three main types of evaluations – central, decentralised and partner-led evaluations. A number of central evaluations concluded in 2025, which provided evidence for support and decision making for future strategies and contributions. The report also presents the actions taken by the Evaluation team to strengthen the independence of Sida’s evaluation function, the language quality of publications, and to study the long-term effects of Sida’s support in line with the government’s request to strengthen evidence based decision making.

This evaluation of the joint Nordic contributions to trust funds serves the dual purpose of accountability and learning, with a focus on the latter. It covers Nordic contributions through trust funds managed by the UN Multi-Partner Trust Fund (UNMPTF), the World Bank (WB), and the African Development Bank (AfDB). As the focus was on trust funds supported by at least three Nordic donors (the UNMPTF and the WB), and two trust funds with the AfDB, the evaluation addresses multi-donor trust funds (MDTFs) rather than single-donor trust funds. The portfolio analysis covers the period from 2004 to 2023, while the rest of the evaluation focusses on the past decade, from 2013 to 2023.
