Independent Evaluation - EGP Annual Global Workshop - October2018 PDF
➢ The Evaluation has covered the period September 2014 to June 2018.
➢ SEPA and UNDP complement each other and bring value to the partner.
Thus, both parties depend on the other´s capacity and the collaboration
adds value that would not be possible to achieve if only one of the two
organizations were going to implement the sub programme.
Effectiveness
➢ Relevant international, regional and local expertise has been sought. The
experts from SEPA as well as other experts are highly praised by the
interviewees.
Degree of change
➢ Our conclusion is that environmental governance capacities and
awareness have been strengthened at global, regional, national and
community level as a result of EGP.
➢ The impact is more notable at the national level in the four programme
countries.
➢ Although the impact is more notable at the national level in the four
programme countries, much more work and resources are required to
get full coverage at the local level.
Degree of change
➢ The intervention has been rather successful in establishing ownership.
However, the sub programme's CD Framework (the Theory of Change
and the Results Framework) for next phase should be developed through
a participatory process involving among others the partners in Colombia,
Kenya, Mongolia and Mozambique. More engagement of the country
programmes during the inception phase will bring more focus on
country-driven and country-owned solutions, rather than trying to fit
activities into some pre-defined programme outcomes and timelines
➢ If the sub programme comes to an end now there is a significant risk that
important parts of the results, achievements and benefits will not sustain.
2. In order to expand the sub programme in the next phase it is important to get
other donors on board. Therefore, it is necessary to allocate enough time for
discussions with other donors.
6. The local level should be prioritised in the next Global Programme in addition to
the national level.
Recommendations EGP (II)
7. International organizational experts should be engaged to assist in organizational
reviews and institutional changes
8. A communication strategy for dissemination of results and lessons learned
should be established.
9. Revisit the issue of transparency to ensure accountability at all levels.
10. The sub programme's CD Framework (the Theory of Change and the Results
Framework) for next phase should be developed through a participatory process
involving among others the partners in Colombia, Kenya, Mongolia and
Mozambique.
11. To further develop the link between the three levels of CD processes more
emphasis should be on developing the organizational level, especially the
structures of environmental administrations.
12. More effort is needed to make explicit the sub programme's CD Framework to set
a common vision of the institutional change the EGP aims to bring about and
measure. It is important to build into what participating countries are familiar
with instead of bring in new one and creating confusion.
Recommendations EGP (III)
13. More engagement of the programme countries during the inception phase will
bring more focus on country-driven and country-owned solutions, rather than
trying to fit activities into some pre-defined outcomes and timelines.
14. In the Results Framework for next phase the expected results for the
environment in terms of for example biodiversity and deforestation should be
specified.
15. In the design of the sub programme SEPA should recognize that Sweden can learn
from the experience in integrating human rights with environmental
sustainability in the mining sector.
16. A strategy for phasing out the financial support in Colombia, Kenya, Mongolia
and Mozambique at the end of the next phase should be drafted.
17. A needs assessment is carried out to identify other countries and/or regional
organisations feasible for support when the support in Colombia, Kenya,
Mongolia and Mozambique has been phased out.
Recommendations EGP (IV)
18. SEPA/UDNP invites a Portuguese-speaking country to the peer to peer
cooperation in Mozambique.
19. In Mozambique the pilot project in participatory environmental monitoring
committees should be scaled up.
20. In Colombia organizations at the local level should be targeted to a higher extent
in next phase.
21. More efforts are needed In Colombia to facilitate changes in policies.
22. In Colombia small and medium sized mining companies should be targeted to a
higher extent in next phase.
23. It should be considered to give illegal mining in Mongolia higher priority in the
next phase.
24. In Mongolia also next phase should include efforts on reducing the scale and
preventing future cases of degraded and abandoned land caused by large scale
and illegal mining.
25. The Police should be fully integrated in the partnership in Mongolia.
