Overview
This report presents the external evaluation of the project - “Indices for benchmarking productive capacities for evidence-based policymaking in landlocked developing countries”. The project was implemented under the coordination of UNCTAD’s Division for Africa, LDCs and Special Programmes (ALDC). The project was financed under the Development Account 10th Tranche with USD 599,000 and implemented between January 2016 and April 2021. The evaluation assessed the degree to which the desired project results have been realized, and identified good practices and lessons learned that could feed into and enhance the implementation of related interventions. The evaluation used mixed methods for data collection and triangulation: desk review of secondary resources, interviews, observation, and a survey. The main findings of the evaluation were articulated around the key evaluation questions.
