Learning From Evaluation - Institutional Readiness Supporting Project Implementation

This session is a stage-setting session. It emphasizes the value of using evaluation lessons and findings to improve project performance and strengthen accountability and learning. Using examples of project implementation challenges across sectors in Central and West Asian countries, the session identifies the factors that affect overall project performance at (i) regional; (ii) DMC, and (iii) sector levels with a focus on the role of strong institutions.

The session then becomes a foundation for subsequent deep dive discussions (sector and country levels) that demonstrate the benefits of learning from evaluation.
