Sammanfattning

This evaluation aimed to assess a) the degree to which IBON’s support to the CSO Partnership for Development Effectiveness (CPDE)programmes have achieved results, and b) if its management has been effective, specifically at facilitating global CSO engagement inpolicy reform processes, developing capacity for sustainable CSO engagement in national level policy reforms and challenges andbenefits of multi-stakeholder engagement. The evaluation found that CPDE had played a decisive role in facilitating global CSOengagement. However, in terms of facilitation of country level CSO engagement in policy reform processes, CPDE had not yet played asignificant role, although the constituency of CPDE reported that they had increased their capacities to do advocacy and research.Finally, while multi-stakeholder engagement is described as a model and pre-condition for inclusive development cooperationprocesses in theory, in practice these tended to depend on the willingness of governments and private sector actors to form suchplatforms, make them inclusive of CSOs and take note of CSO inputs. Multi-stakeholder platforms may not be the best way for everycountry and needs to be supplemented by other issue-based and ad-hoc coalitions.

Evaluation of Sida’s International Training Programmes (ITP) as Instruments for Supporting Effective and Inclusive Institutions

Tematik: Demokrati och mänskliga rättigheter Hälsa Utbildning och forskning

The main purpose of the evaluation was to promote learning and inform the continued development of future capacity development programmes (ITP), as well as a general approach to capacity development as a method for supporting effective and inclusive institutions. The objective was to assess the relevance and effectiveness of five ITPs, to identify what works well and less well. Conclusions: The evaluation concludes that ITP design and methods were generally relevant. All the five ITPs promoted locally driven change, most promoted systemic solutions and a long-term approach, and a majority were adaptive. Less attention was paid to understanding local power relations. Intended outputs were achieved to a great extent although the results of change initiatives were mixed. The most prominent outcome was the forging local partnerships. Key enabling factors included local adaptation, participant engagement, and multi-stakeholder involvement. The key barriers were Covid-19, funding constraints, and lack of leadership buy-in. Recommendations: The evaluation recommends that ITPs should focus more on organisations, target decision-makers, promote more regional exchange, have longer programme rounds, and that measures should be taken to ensure that change initiatives are completed and learning is passed on. It also recommends to invest in alumni networks, build synergies with other projects, and improve M&E systems.
