Assessment of development results - Niger (Paperback)

This report presents an independent evaluation managed by the Evaluation Office of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Niger in 2012. It assesses UNDP s overall contribution to the development of the country over the two most recent programming cycles (2004-2008 and 2009-2013), as well as the strategy and performance of UNDP-Niger during the last two programme cycles and their action plans. This ADR is the first conducted in Niger, in collaboration with the Government of Niger with a view to strengthening the ownership of the evaluation results by national partners, and thereby its credibility and utility. Its objectives are to: (i) identify progress made toward achieving the desired results for the programming cycles concerned; (ii) analyze how UNDP in Niger has positioned itself in order to provide added value to the country's own development efforts; and (iii) present conclusions and recommendations that will feed into new programming frameworks for UNDP in the country, and in particular the next Country Programme.
