SKiM - Post-Evaluation Action Plan

Abstract

1. ICARDA commissioned a mid-term evaluation (MTE) of the Strengthening Knowledge Management for Greater Development Effectiveness in the Near East, North Africa, Central Asia, and Europe (SKiM) project which is funded by the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). The main objectives of the evaluation are to: (i) appraise the activities and outputs achieved by ICARDA and partners, (ii) identify and assess outcomes of the project, (iii) identify the enablers and/or constraints to the attainment of project results and lessons learned, and (iv) make practical recommendations for corrective action required to achieve the envisioned project results within the remaining period of the project. The evaluation is based on a review of project-related documents, remote interviews, and discussions with various key stakeholders, including beneficiaries and the SKiM project implementation team.
