(b) Assess the efficiency of implementation: quantity, quality, cost and timeliness of UNIDO and counterpart inputs and activities. (c) Provide an analytical basis and recommendations for the focus and design for the possible continuation of the project in a next phase. (d) Draw lessons of wider application for the replication of the experience gained in this project in other countries. METHODOLOGY The evaluation is conducted in compliance with UNIDO evaluation policy as an Independent Mid-term Evaluation. Independent mid-term evaluation is an activity carried out during the project cycle, which attempts to determine as systematically and objectively as possible the relevance, efficiency, achievements (outputs, outcomes and impact) and sustainability of the project. The evaluation assesses the achievements of the project against its key objectives, as set in the project document, including re-examination of the relevance of the objectives and of the design. It also identifies factors that have facilitated or impeded the achievement of the objectives. The evaluation will be carried out through analyses of various sources of information including desk analysis, survey data, interviews with counterparts, beneficiaries, partner agencies, donor representatives, programme managers and through the cross-validation of data. While maintaining independence, the evaluation will be carried out based on a participatory approach, which seeks the views and assessments of all parties. It will address the following issues: Project identification and formulation The extent to which: (i) A participatory project identification process was instrumental in selecting problem areas and counterparts requiring technical cooperation support. (ii) The project had a clear thematically focused development objective, the attainment of which can be determined by a set of verifiable indicators. (iii) The project/programme was formulated based on the logical framework approach and included appropriate output and outcome indicators. 71
