Impact Evaluation of AfDB-Funded Ghana Fufulso-Sawla Road Project
01 Dec 2020 | IE10004 | Impact Evaluation
Integrating community development interventions into road transport infrastructure brings an added value to, and fast tracks, the Bank’s poverty reduction, job creation, and inclusive development efforts. Results from the evaluation showed that combining road construction with the construction of market centers and schools in a largely rural context yielded additional positive impacts on multidimensional poverty reduction. This underscores the need to pay close attention to the context when designing such integrated road interventions. ...

Impact Evaluation of the African Development Bank-supported small-scale irrigation projects in Malawi
28 Sep 2020 | IE10003 | Impact Evaluation
Inadequate attention to the capacity and governance systems of local institutions undermines achievement of sustainable outcomes from irrigation development. The evaluation found that weak organizational capacity and leadership problems hindered proper functioning of irrigation schemes. The Water User Associations (WUAs) or Water User Groups (WUGs) are the direct beneficiaries of the irrigation schemes and are entrusted with the responsibility to maintain and operate them. Due to the weak capacity and lack of required legal status, these local organizations are unable to enforce rules for operating the schemes requisite for ensuring sustained benefits. In addition, these organizations have the potential to influence the mind-set of farmers towards taking up commercial farming, which is a shift from subsistence farming to farming as business. Thus, Bank’s support to enhance the capacity and governance systems of these local institutions will contribute to the effective use of the exist ...

Mali Country Strategy and Program Evaluation for the period 2005-2019
22 Sep 2020 | CA10072 | Country Strategy Evaluation
It is possible is blend selectiveness and flexibility in the configuration of the Bank’s assistance. In Mali, the Bank has (for over 30 years) chosen to devote one-quarter or more of allocated resources to agriculture, another quarter or more to multisector operations that offer target communities a wide range of basic services to meet their varied needs (or 57% to 82% of allocated resources to two sectors). This also leads the country's authorities and national opinion to recognize that they have "a faithful friend" who helps in difficult times on what is perceived as important at this time. ...

Evaluation of the AfDB’s Private Sector Development Strategy (2013-2019)
17 Jul 2020 | SR10010 | Sector Evaluation
Good alignment with institutional strategy is a necessary condition, but the lack of a thorough analysis of financing and capacity constraints led to lack of realism in the ambition of the PSD Strategy. Therefore, effectiveness of operations is influenced by the due diligence and quality of the project design, including the logic of intervention and the precise role played by complementary inputs, such as analytical work, policy dialogue and TA. ...

Evaluation of the African Development Bank’s self-evaluation systems and processes
22 Apr 2020 | CO10026 | Corporate Evaluation
The Bank’s SESP are, to a large extent, relevant and aligned with comparators’ best practices. The existing guidance tools and procedures are clear and aligned with the Bank’s key policies, strategies (High 5s, TYS) and new business model (DBDM). A theory of change is not explicitly available for the SESP but, in line with the practice at comparator organizations, the system has consistently pursued three main outcomes: promoting better performance, fostering accountability, and enhancing learning. The SESP are closely integrated with IDEV’s independent validation function, in line with comparator institutions. However, while ensuring IDEV’s independence, the search for better convergence between staff and IDEV on ratings, harmonization of rating methodologies, definitions, and consistency of what is reported to the Board needs to be improved. ...
