Evaluation of Sida’s risk management of contributions

Sida’s cooperation partners. It was commissioned by Sida and covers contributions appraised in 2017 and 2018. The evaluation concludes that Sida’s risk management approaches are largely relevant and effective, especially the flexibility, the core support and the capacity strengthening consultancies. Areas of improvement include the need for more clarity and unity on Sida’s risk policy framework, more adaptability of agreement conditions, more joint engagement with partners in risk management and more focus on risks related to poor performance, limited local ownership and lack of downward accountability. The evaluation presents recommendations to Sida on how to move forward.
