Climate Change Adaptation
The growing relevance of climate change adaptation and the lack of comprehensive evaluation motivate the decision for a strategic evaluation of the German portfolio on adaptation to climate change. To date no systematic analysis of the German portfolio on CCA is available and we know little about the climate-resilience of GDC. The purpose of this evaluation is to evaluate the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, and sustainability of the GDC CCA portfolio and its instruments, as well as to assess the coordination, complementarity and coherence of actors, programming and implementation processes.

Supporting gender equality in post-conflict contexts
Insufficient information is available on the extent to which official German DC is successfully meeting its objective of taking into account gender perspectives in all projects in fragile and conflict contexts and designing measures in a gender-sensitive manner. The evaluation therefore sets out to examine this and, on the basis of its findings, trigger learning processes in the policy environment. The findings of the evaluation will also be used for the purposes of BMZ accountability for the gender-sensitive design of German DC measures in post-conflict contexts. At the same time, the evaluation will seek to provide BMZ with information to facilitate policy-making in this field. It will therefore also investigate the extent to which BMZ has put in place appropriate processes, instruments and mechanisms to support consideration of the interactions, synergies and conflicting interests of the objectives of ‘gender equality’ and ‘peacebuilding’ in the context of German DC.

Structured funds (concluded)
The number of structured funds involving German development cooperation has risen steadily in recent years. Around EUR 800 million in German federal budgetary resources and around EUR 500 million in KfW funds are paid into these funds. However, very little is currently known about the impact of structured funds. The objectives of the evaluation are therefore as follows: 1. Analyse the contribution to mobilising additional funds/sustainability, 2. Analyse the impact on the development of local financial systems and employment, 3. Analyse the implementation of development principles (division of labour, donor harmonisation, strengthening of regional actors), 4. Position structured funds within the objectives of German development cooperation.

Institutional Evaluation of Engagement Global (concluded)
Engagement Global was founded in 2012 by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development as a non-profit limited organisation to support responsible citizen action and engagement, also on the communal level, in the field of development policies. Towards this end, different programmes were concentrated under one organizational roof some of which already existed whereas others were created after the foundation of Engagement Global. Following a proposal from BMZ as well as from VENRO, the umbrella organisation of development and humanitarian aid non-governmental organisations (NGOs) in Germany, to conduct an institutional evaluation five years after the foundation, this evaluation became part of Deval’s evaluation programme 2017-2019.

The aim of a CPR is to take an analytical look at the relevance of an existing country portfolio 'from the outside' ('Are we (still) doing the right thing in the specific country context?'), taking account of the points of view of the German Government, partners and implementing organisations. CPRs are designed to encourage decision-makers to think more about the overall portfolio and to take stock of progress made so far.

The evaluation examines the effectiveness of bilateral, official German development cooperation (DC) in fragile contexts. Fragile contexts are characterised by a lack of state authority, capacity and legitimacy and place considerable demands on the implementation of development measures. Despite this, the number of DC activities with fragile states is steadily increasing.
