Aimed at providing evidence and learnings, the purpose of this evaluation was to feed into the design of DFID’s strategy in Zimbabwe. The evaluation also intended to optimise the impact and value for money.
We assessed the extent to which the portfolio (programmes and policy influencing) was aligned with the business plan and portfolio objectives; the changes required in the portfolio to ensure DFID Zimbabwe maximises its contribution to the reduction of poverty in the country while addressing national priorities; and the relevance of the portfolio of interventions at thematic/programme level in the given socio, economic and political context.
