East AFRITAC Phase IV Independent Midterm Evaluation

29/04/2019

This report presents the results and recommendations from an external evaluation of Phase IV (July 2015 through January 2018) of the International Monetary Fund Regional Technical Assistance Center (RTAC) in East Africa (AFRITAC East). This evaluation includes an assessment of AFE strategic, operational, financing, and results-based management (RBM) systems. The overall objective of the evaluation is to assess the extent to which AFE has achieved its objectives, assessing the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and impact of its activities. Given AFE’s operational duration of 15 years, a particular focus of the evaluation was to assess the extent to which it has built on the work of the previous multi-year cycles and whether the results of previous phases have been sustained in the current phase.

East AFRITAC Independent Mid-Term Evaluation - Phase III

29/11/2013

The overall Evaluation results of East AFRITAC’s Phase III are very strong. The Center has built on the foundations of the program’s previous phases and continued to leverage the advantages of the RTAC model to provide TA and training that is of excellent quality, high relevance and strongly owned by its member countries and TA beneficiaries. A number of initiatives in progress, such as the introduction of RBM, should improve AFE’s effectiveness by enabling better definition and tracking of results. We have made various suggestions on how project1 and program2 design, management and monitoring could be improved further to deliver strong outcomes. In addition, we have made further suggestions on how the Center’s operations and reporting could be further strengthened, that the AFE management, the Steering Committee and the IMF may wish to consider.

East AFRITAC Independent Evaluation
