Sammanfattning

This report presents a mid-term evaluation of the Strategic Plan 2016–2020 of the Financial Sector Deepening Trust (FSDT) Tanzania.
The evaluation assesses the relevance, effectiveness, and sustainability of FSDT’s operations, and is expected to contribute to
learning and serve as an input to FSDT’s next Strategic Plan. A light benchmarking was done with the Financial Sector Deepening
Kenya (FSDK) and Access to Finance Rwanda (AFR). The evaluation found that FSDT’s Strategy has been largely relevant to national
priorities and partners’ needs and that it has contributed to key policies and regulations, strengthened market infrastructure, and the
development of new products and services. The needs of women and youth, however, have not been addressed properly, and more
attention should be given to monitoring, learning, and ensuring value for money. It was moreover found that ensuring sustainability is
a key challenge for FSDT, both in terms of programming and the viability of the FSDT itself. The evaluation ends with several
recommendations to Sida, other donors and FSDT for the coming strategy period.

Impact study of United Nations Joint Programme on Social Protection in Zambia

Tematik: Ekonomisk utveckling Fattigdom

Zambia’s Social Cash Transfer (SCT) programme, which is a key part of the UN Joint Programme on Social Protection in Zambia (UNJPSP II), aims to reduce multidimensional poverty. It focus in particular on the most marginalised women, children as well as people with disabilities.

Main evaluation method: Quantitative analysis of existing secondary data.

Positives: We find positive effect on food security and dietary diversity among poor households, especially in rural areas, as well as on children’s health. Some gains were also noted in small business engagement among urban recipients, and rural households have started more home gardening activities.

Potential shortcomings: Negative effects were found on breastfeeding and vitamin A uptake due to misconceptions about nutrition and SCT eligibility. We also found negative effects on asset accumulation. Targeting was weak in urban areas. While reaching 33% of Zambia’s population, SCT has not been sufficient to counteract the rise in national poverty. However, the SCT were only equivalent to the purchasing power of USD 0.25 per day per household. Irregular payments and low transfer amounts remain key challenges, despite strong government commitment.
