Development Account Project 1617K: Improving the value added of cotton by-products in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA)
Overview
This independent final project evaluation covers UNCTAD project “Improving the value added of cotton by-products in Eastern and Southern Africa (ESA)” funded by the United Nations Development Account (UNDA; Project Code 1617K). The project is aimed at supporting selected countries in ESA (Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and Zimbabwe) to promote opportunities for greater value addition in the cotton sector, with a focus on cotton by-products. It is focused on strengthening national capacities to (a) assess the economic viability of developing cotton byproducts and (b) formulate relevant policy measures to stimulate investment aimed at improving value addition of cotton by-products. The project had an initial duration of approximately 3.5 years (up to December 2019) with an approved budget of US$ 591,000. Mid-2019 the project was granted an extension and budget increase by US$ 100,000. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, there was an additional extension up to December 2020. The purpose of this end-of-project evaluation is to assess in a systematic and objective manner project design and implementation, the latter covering the achievements against the intended outcomes and results and related indicators as set out in the project’s logical framework. This assessment is expected to result in practical recommendations, good practices and lessons learned from the project for the different project stakeholders listed above in order to (i) feed into decision making as regards the way forward beyond the closure of the current project in the focus region/countries and (ii) enhance the design and implementation of related interventions elsewhere.Report Details
