The guidelines are effective for IED evaluations and validations initiated from 1 May 2016 onwards. Evaluations and validations that are at advanced stage may still be completed using the old guidelines.
The document has separate guideline appendixes for the following IED reports:
- project (or program) performance evaluation report (PPER),
- PCR validation report (PVR), and
- technical assistance performance evaluation report (TPER).
- IED recommends that ADB staff uses these guidelines for project completion reports and has asked that ADB incorporate these guidelines into the project administration instructions for project completion reports effective 1 July 2016.
