Evaluation of DFID Country Programmes: Zambia (EV 689)

DFID has a rolling programme of Country Programme Evaluations (CPEs) with 5 or 6 evaluations of countries or regions per year.A synthesis report pulling together findings from five recent CPEs is also produced annually.CPEs are challenging evaluations attempting to provide an overview of the entire DFID programme over a five-year time frame and evaluate whether DFID made appropriate strategic choices in the given context and delivered effectively. CPEs are ideally undertaken in the year prior to development of a new CountryAssistance Plan, as they are designed to meet DFID’s needs for lessons that can inform future strategy and programming, as well as accountability for funds spent at country level.

The major purpose of this Desk Review (DR) is to establish how effectively DFID’s interventions in the Private Sector Infrastructure (PSI) portfolio of Facilities to support Private Participation in Infrastructure (PPI) have contributed to achieving DFID’s core objectives. The scope of the DR has been shaped by the relatively short operational life of many of the Facilities, together with limitations on the availability and on the comparability of the basic data.
