Our Evaluations

As well as facilitating development impact, fiduciary holding funds are intended to mobilise additional private capital, which goes towards achieving the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals. Against this backdrop, DEval is evaluating to what extent the funds are realising their objectives and examining how they might be set up and managed in an evidence-based way.

The 2030 Agenda of the United Nations adopted in 2015 has made the involvement of citizens in development cooperation (DC) more important than ever. The Agenda’s ambitious goals cannot be achieved without broad public support. In many places, however, public criticism of international cooperation is increasing. With its Opinion Monitor for Development Policy project, DEval has carried out regular studies since 2017 to track public opinion on these issues in Germany.
