This report presents the findings of a research project on rigorous impact evaluation (RIE) in German development cooperation funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. The research project examined the status quo of RIE, relevant barriers and potential measures to increase both the initiation of RIEs and the take-up of (rigorous) evidence.

In the strategy paper ‘Human Rights in German Development Policy’, published in 2011, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) defined human rights as a guiding principle of its work. The strategy paper formulates a human rights-based approach (HRBA) for the realisation of this guiding principle. The current DEval evaluation comprehensively assesses the HRBA for the first time since it was adopted.

Residuale Klimarisiken sind solche Klimarisiken, die nach Risikoreduzierung durch Anpassung und Klimaschutz verbleiben. Um die Ziele für nachhaltige Entwicklung zu erreichen, ist ein effektiver Umgang mit residualen Klimarisiken erforderlich. Bisher gibt es nur vereinzelt Evidenz zur Wirksamkeit von Instrumenten zum Umgang mit residualen Klimarisiken. Vor diesem Hintergrund schließt dieses Evaluierungsmodul die Wissens- und Evaluierungslücke zur Relevanz und Wirksamkeit der bislang angewendeten Instrumente im Umgang mit residualen Klimarisiken.
