Overview
This is the ninth Annual Evaluation Synthesis Review (AESR). Its goal is to provide ITC stakeholders – ITC management and staff, including member states and beneficiaries – with a synthesis of key evaluation messages for accountability and learning purposes. The AESR is a public document. It is presented at the annual meeting of ITC’s Joint Advisory Group (JAG) to support a better-informed dialogue.
Usually, the AESR provides a synthesis of findings from evaluations of ITC’s projects, programmes, and policies conducted during the previous year. Overviews of funder-led evaluations and self-evaluations, and project completion reports (PCRs) conducted in 2020 are provided in Annexes 1 and 2.1 This year, however, the AESR focuses on a review of the ITC Strategic Plan 2018-2021, which overall goal is defined in its subtitle “Trade Routes to Sustainable and Inclusive Development”.
