Our Evaluations

The objective of the interdepartmental evaluation is to conduct an independent and comprehensive analysis and assessment of the two ministries' engagement in Iraq.

Gender equality and peacebuilding are two key objectives of German development cooperation. But are both objectives and their interlinkages taken into account sufficiently when putting development policy into practice? A DEval evaluation in several post-conflict countries seeks to answer these questions.

Wars and conflicts force millions of people worldwide to flee their homes. Within the framework of the German Government's 'Partnership for Prospects in the Middle East', DEval has investigated how short-term assistance and development cooperation can be meaningfully connected in order to improve the lives of both refugees and the local population in the host communities.

German development cooperation is increasingly taking place in fragile contexts, as more than half of its partner countries are now affected by violence, conflicts and a lack of state authority/legitimacy. As a result of these particular challenges, the effectiveness of development cooperation is threatened. This evaluation provides guidance for policymakers in the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and other donors to adapt development cooperation to the context of partner countries with the aim to make it more effective and sustainable.
