31 Jan 2020 | ES10007 | Evaluation Synthesis

Lessons on the Effectiveness of Development Partnerships: An Evaluation Synthesis
06 Nov 2019 | ES10006 | Evaluation Synthesis

The partnership vision of the institution should be shared with, and allowed to permeate, all levels of the organization. Staff should be well-equipped to deal with issues arising from shared responsibilities. Business management processes need to be flexible enough to allow for a degree of decentralized delegation of authority. ...

South Africa: Country Strategy Paper 2013-2017 Completion Report Validation Note
01 Jul 2019 | CA10070 | Country Strategy Evaluation
Development challenges of South Africa is characterized by high poverty, unemployment and income inequality. A well-balanced mix of macroeconomic, structural and microeconomic policies focusing on improvement of overall business environment is essential to address these challenges. The policy mix should not only facilitate investments in the prerequisite infrastructure but also reforms of legal and regulatory frameworks to remove restrictions preventing private sector actors from entering the market (crowding-in) and provide direct support to transformative industries. The policy mix needs to include regional integration, maintaining macroeconomic stability and skills development.

In general, the PBO instrument has been relevant to strengthen PSE and governance related reforms and has proven its potential to help the continent reaching the High 5s through supporting cross-cutting issues of PFM and PSE. While HQ staff have played an important role, the capacity of the AfDB to seize the opportunities offered by the instrument has often depended on the actual engagement of the relevant country/regional offices. ...

Cabo Verde: Evaluation of the Bank's Country Strategy and Program, 2008-2017
28 Nov 2018 | CA10067 | Country Strategy Evaluation
Solid progress was made on governance reforms, but the desired outcomes in terms of fiscal consolidation and higher levels of inclusive growth were not fully achieved. Getting policies and institutional arrangements right is important, but the supply response depends on international market conditions as well as other factors, beyond Bank control.
