EVALUATIONSREPORT
2023
Do projects funded by AFD lead to tangible results on the ground? Do they have a long-term impact? How can we do better, how can we do more? From 2021 to 2022, AFD has carried out over 100 evaluations to answer these essential questions.
A renovated drinking water network to combat cholera
The city of Uvira, in the South Kivu province, is situated in a region where cholera is endemic. To assist the local population, AFD has contributed to significantly improving access to the local drinking water network.
Independent drinking water distribution systems established
From 2016 to 2022, AFD financed the deployment of autonomous small-scale drinking water networks in 26 peripheral districts of Kinshasa. The amount of water collected has increased by almost 11 liters per day per person.
How can sustainable results be achieved in crisis zones?
In 2022, AFD conducted a comparative analysis of 62 evaluations and capitalization studies of projects carried out in the Sahel. Conclusion: although the initiatives funded are relevant, significant challenges remain to ensure the sustainability of results in the region.
Evaluation contributes towards better forestry conservation
Since it was launched in 2008, the Holistic Conservation Programme for Forests in Madagascar has been evaluated three times. This long-term evaluation has led to improved results.
Taking better account of climate change adaptation within projects
For the first time, in 2022, AFD evaluated the financing of “adaptation” co-benefit projects. Conclusion: tangible results have been achieved in the field and the analysis framework has made significant progress over time.
Supporting vocational training and revitalizing the economy
To support the economy and employment, AFD has financed the creation of eight Delegated Management Institutes, training centers run entirely by professionals. The result: a labor market integration rate ranging from 80 to 100%.
Support for structured vocational training
From 2005 to 2019, AFD supported the development of sectoral training centers for young people. Six centers are now operational, with labor market integration rates up to twice the average.
New principles and new tools, a renewed commitment to promote our evaluation culture to a wider audience ... AFD’s approach to evaluation is changing significantly. The objective is to create a real decision-making tool. Interview with Nathalie Le Denmat, Director of AFD’s Evaluation and Learning Department from 2017 to 2023.
