Botswana: Country Assistance Evaluation, 2004-2013
Published by: Independent Development Evaluation, African Development Bank
This evaluation seeks to meet two related needs for evaluative information among the Bank's senior management, SARC, operational staff and Board, and GOB. These stakeholders want to know:
- The quality of design and implementation, and the outcomes of the 2004 and 2009 CSPs; and
- Whether the two CSPs responded to the recommendations of past IDEV evaluations concerning the strategic mix of lending and non-lending operations, the instruments employed, and the results achieved taking into account Botswana's special circumstances as a MIC.
The evaluation will generate information for informing the design of the Bank's new CSP, and also for improving the implementation quality of the ongoing portfolio in Botswana.
In this regard, the evaluation assesses the extent of the (a) relevance and congruence of the objectives of the two CSPs in supporting the development challenges faced by Botswana at the time; (b) the contribution of the two CSPs to the realization of national development outputs, outcomes and goals, as well as the factors that facilitated or limited the achievement of the results; and (c) lessons learned from the performance of the two CSPs in order to provide actionable recommendations for improving the design, implementation and management of the Bank's new CSP for Botswana.
