Sammanfattning

This report presents the findings of the Mid Term Evaluation of Portfolio Guarantee Georgia between Sida and TBC Bank. The
purpose of the guarantee is to facilitate increased lending by the TBC Bank to MSMEs and start-ups, improving both the conditions
of and increasing the quantity of these loans, thereby stimulating economic growth in Georgia. The report assesses progress of
the loan portfolio guarantee, including its financial and development additionality to inform decisions on the value added of
increasing the guarantee amount. The guarantee continues to be relevant for supporting Swedish priorities for reform cooperation
in Eastern Europe, and for supporting Georgian government priorities regarding economic development and job creation. The
facility is serving as an efficient tool for mobilising private sector funds for Georgian MSMEs. Under the existing limit of the
revolving facility, the amount of additional new loans will be constrained to the repayments on previous loans. There is a
substantial demand for additional loans to similar viable borrowers, and any possible increase in the facility limit would help
provide bank financing for their investments and growth.

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.
