Detailed description of project Back
The overall objective of this evaluation is to provide the relevant services of the European Union, the interested stakeholders with:
- an overall independent assessment of the performance of Digitalisation Sector Reform Performance Contract, paying particular attention to its results measured against its expected objectives; and the reasons underpinning such results.
The focus of evaluation is on the assessment of achievements, the quality and the results of Budget Support programme in the context of an evolving cooperation policy with an increasing emphasis on result-oriented approaches and the contribution towards the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
In particular, this evaluation aims at assessing:
- To what extent the Digitalisation SRPC has achieved its expected results, notably through contributing to the implementation of the partner government’s Concept/Strategy 2019-2023 “Digital Kyrgyzstan” by providing opportunities for the improvement of national policy processes and policy implementation.
- The evaluation should also specifically analyse how the budget support programme has contributed (or not) to strengthen Public Financial Management (PFM) systems, including improved transparency within government systems, improved Domestic Revenues Mobilisation and stronger accountability.
- The evaluation will also pay attention to other aid modalities (projects), in order to assess the complementarity and synergy (or discrepancy) of these modalities with budget support.
