Our Evaluations

At the start of 2011 three organisations of German development cooperation (DED, InWEnt and GTZ) were merged to form the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). The purpose of the merger was to make Germany’s Technical Cooperation more effective and enhance its visibility. DEval examined whether the desired results were achieved.

This evaluation by DEval analysed how the promotion of agricultural value chains by German development cooperation has effects on poverty reduction and food security in the Global South. A close look was also taken at its effects on gender equity and environmental sustainability.

Companies that wish to operate in developing and emerging countries can apply to the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development for support through the develoPPP.de programme. DEval analysed whether and how the proposal, approval and implementation of projects are affected by country-specific factors.

Strong health systems are the basis for enabling good health care for all. DEval examined what role German development cooperation plays in Health Systems Strengthening (HSS), and whether the German strategy meets the criteria of an integrated approach. The evaluation was completed in 2016.
