Multilateral development cooperation helps overcome present-day global challenges such as poverty, hunger and climate protection; it thus contributes to achieving internationally agreed goals, such as the United Nations Agenda for Sustainable Development. DEval has evaluated the multilateral engagement of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), focusing on the criteria of relevance, coherence and efficiency. Among other things, the evaluation analyses the extent to which the BMZ's strategic priorities are reflected in the multilateral portfolio, and whether bilateral and multilateral development cooperation are appropriately interlinked. This policy brief presents key conclusions and recommendations of the DEval evaluation.
