Evaluation of GBS – Synthesis Report illustrative rather than representative sample of countries that receive GBS. It was agreed during the inception phase that the particular focus of the evaluation should be on "partnership GBS" ("new GBS" and "poverty reduction GBS" are equivalent terms). In all cases, partnership GBS was an innovation in the latter part of the review period. The study was not required to evaluate the forms of GBS that preceded partnership GBS, but it was expected to use the earlier experiences of programme aid as a point of comparison in assessing partnership GBS. Requirements for the Synthesis Report 1.7 The Synthesis Report (SR) is intended to be more than a summary of the country studies. It is required to provide global lessons and recommendations to donors and partner Governments at both operational and policy levels (TOR §5.1). It is further described as follows: The Synthesis Report should be based on the country reports and the thematic reports 5 as well as other relevant documents including the literature review. It is important that the data, findings, conclusions, lessons and recommendations of the country evaluations and the thematic evaluations are effectively used when drafting the synthesis report. The synthesis report should include references to the other reports and clearly account for the evidence on which it is based. Furthermore, the synthesis report should not only summarise the findings of the country evaluations and the thematic evaluations but should add another level of analysis to draw out the more general trends, findings, conclusions, lessons and recommendations about the future use of GBS, both operationally and at the policy level. (TOR §6) 1.8 The terms of reference further specify the report's contents as follows: The synthesis report should include: an executive summary (which can be published as a standalone summary of the evaluation), introduction and background to the evaluation, the approach and methodology applied (including the causality tree), a description of the development co-operation context, the main findings related to the evaluation issues and themes specified in the inception report, the main overall conclusions and recommendations and lessons learned. (TOR §6) Structure of the Synthesis Report 1.9 Our challenge is to remain faithful to the evaluation methodology without anaesthetising the reader. We proceed as follows: • Section 2: Concise explanation of the methodology. • Section 3: Overview of the study countries and of the partnership GBS operations identified. • Section 4: Overview of the main conclusions from the individual country studies. • Section 5: Evaluation findings and conclusions in detail. • Section 6: Thematic issues – a series of wider discussions which pursue key themes identified during the country studies. • Section 7: The Future of PGBS (Conclusions and Recommendations). 1.10 The main text is supported by: • The Bibliography (see page 129; the introduction to the bibliography explains our conventions in referencing the outputs of this evaluation). 5 It was originally envisaged that a series of thematic studies would be commissioned in parallel with the main evaluation. Except for the study of performance assessment frameworks (Lawson et al 2005b), this did not happen, but we have referred to many other current studies and reports (see Bibliography). (2)
1. Terms of Reference and Approach • Annexes: these, together with the country reports (CRs), provide detailed supporting evidence for the evaluation's conclusions. • Appendix: for convenience, the executive summaries of the country reports are also appended to this synthesis report. (3)
