Sammanfattning

This evaluation considers the International Training Programme (ITP) on Intellectual Property for Development, implemented by the
Swedish Intellectual Property Office (PRV). It is supported by Sida. The evaluation focuses on the implementation period 2015 until
2021. It seeks to provide valuable input for any new capacity development undertakings in the area of innovation and intellectual
property.

The ITPs on Intellectual Property (IP) are very much appreciated by ex-participants and their organisations. The ITPs are a product of
a strong partnership and long-term cooperation between PRV and WIPO (World Intellectual Property Organisation). Sida and PRV are
recommended to: 1. Invest time to design and develop a new phase of ITPs on IP with an increased focus on organisational and
institutional capacity development. 2. Discuss and set clear parameters for the design and preparation of a possible new round of
ITPs on IP. 3. Review its partnership with its current implementing partners, and based on this review, decide if and how to cooperate
in a future ITP programme. 4. Develop an approach and instruments to establish a network of ex-alumnae of its ITP courses.

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.
