Description
The Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI) of the EC contracted the Mid-Term Evaluation (MTE) of the “PI/2019/405-400 reducing plastic waste and marine litter in East and SouthEast Asia: Supporting a transition to a circular economy in the region” project. This report develops on the findings provided in the Desk and Interview notes.
The main objective of this evaluation is to provide the users of the evaluation with: a) an overall independent assessment of the past performance of the said Action paying particular attention to its intermediate results measured against its expected objectives; and the reasons underpinning such results; and b) key lessons learned, conclusions and related recommendations in order to improve current and future Actions.
The evaluation used a mixed methods approach. This provided a richer set of answers to the EQs. Both primary and secondary data was collected to answer the evaluation questions. Primary data focussed on key informant interviews (KII) and focus group discussions (FGD). Secondary data included project and other documentation. Findings were developed through a 2-stage analysis process and triangulation to ensure they are evidence based. Further methodological details are provided in Annex 3.
