Overview
The evaluation was commissioned and managed by the ITC Independent Evaluation Unit (IEU) and carried out between July 2021 and April 2022 by a team representing the independent consulting firm Le Groupe-conseil baastel ltée. The evaluation was designed to assess NTF IV performance against the intended outcomes and intermediate outcomes of each project, as set out in their logical frameworks. It also sought to determine the extent to which the projects contributed to the overall programme theory of change (ToC). The evaluation examined the NTF IV programme relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, value for money, and sustainability.
The evaluation covered all NTF IV projects contributing to the programme between 1 October 2017 up to 30 June 2021.
