Stakeholders’ perspective Donor n. 1 sitting in the Monitoring Committee • Stakeholder n. 1: • We want project increasing the competitiveness, • We want to finance the adoption of new technologies • We need job creation • Stakeholder n. 2: • We need job creation • We want to finance the adoption of new technologies • We prefer to finance green technologies Donor n. 2 sitting in the Monitoring Committee
Evaluation lessons learned External experts • CBA: Projects are in general not sustainable (in terms of producing the effects over time) • External coherence: Other programmes contradict the interventions • What if (counterfactual): The added value of this type of intervention seems very limited • Implementation procedures: Projects in general meet their targets in terms of input, procedural and output indicators, however in some sectors there are some problems
Key questions • What is the relevance of the projects? • To what extent are projects expected to produce impact? • What is the effectiveness / efficiency of the projects? • What do you think about the projects in terms of policy filter? • What can we learn from the past? • How can we «control» over time the quality and the performance of the projects? • How can we reach an agreement?
