Our Evaluations

This evaluative study examines the German Official Development Assistance (ODA) funds that different partner countries obtain, which instruments are used and which sectors are involved. The aim is to provide reliable evidence of allocation patterns.

Programmes are an important instrument of bilateral German development cooperation. The evaluation sets out to generate findings on the results orientation and evaluability of development cooperation programmes, identify needed improvements and provide pointers for developing an evaluation format at programme level.

DEval is carrying out an evaluation synthesis of private sector engagement in development cooperation (DC). This involves systematically reappraising the existing evidence on the effectiveness of private sector engagement and deriving recommendations from it for future instruments and programmes in the thematic area.

The evaluation of interventions for dealing with residual climate risks is part of the DEval evaluation of climate change adaptation interventions. 'Residual climate risks' are those climate risks that remain after risks have been reduced through mitigation and adaptation. The object of evaluation here are interventions in the areas of risk pooling, risk sharing, risk prevention and transformative risk management. This part of the evaluation focuses on the relevance, effectiveness and impact of interventions for dealing with residual climate risks.
