Permission will be sought from the respondent beforeusing a direct quote in the report.Every effort will be made to ensure the report does not contain material that may damage aperson's career or reputation, damage the reputation of an organisation, or harm relationshipsbetween key stakeholders. Where it is felt that such material is required for the integrity androbustness of the report, the material will be placed in a confidential annex.Key Questions for semi-structured, face-to-face and phone interviewsEach interview will be guided by a set of questions from those listed below. The questions havebeen designed to address the four DAC criteria of Relevance, Effectiveness, Efficiency (includingValue for Money), and Sustainability; and the five objectives of the PPDVP.Each interview will be preceded by an emailed letter explaining the reason for the interview andwhat will be done with the information, and setting out the topics to be discussed. Each personinterviewed, other than MFAT staff, will also be sent an electronic questionnaire (note: those MFATstaff who have had close engagement with the PPDVP eg DPM, M&E Advisor, Finance & BudgetManager will be sent a questionnaire). The interview questions touch on the same areas as thequestionnaire but enable the evaluator to interact with the respondent and probe for more in-depthresponses.For all participants:Are you willing to have your name included in an annexed list of evaluation participants?PPDVP Evaluation Report Page 48
