Sammanfattning

The Embassy of Sweden in Maputo, Mozambique is considering the prospect of continuing its support to the Financial Systems Deepening Mozambique (FSDMoç), a program originally funded through DFID/DCDO to ensure that financial inclusion is made available throughout Mozambique. Considering this it has commissioned an evaluation of the performance of the FSDMoç program for the period in which it has provided financial support (2016-2020). The purpose of the evaluation is to “determine whether the obtained results (achieved by FSDMoç) motivate a continued commitment in the current context.” The thematic scope of the evaluation is the performance of the FSDMoç that is being evaluated. This has been taken to mean what FSDMoç had proposed to do in its various plans as defined by the specific formal arrangements and agreements it had with its funding partners. Specifically, the evaluation assessed the extent to which the expected results (at the output and the effects levels of the Theory of Change were achieved. Since the performance of the FSDMoç is at the core of the evaluation, the evaluation team focused on the EFFECTS generated by the FSDMoç, as compared to the expectations of funders with respect to the Theory of Change, and the contractual agreements between them and the FSDMoç.

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.
