Description
Mid – Term Review of the Programme to Support Pro-Poor Policy Development (PSPPD) II. The purpose of the review is to provide decision makers in the South African government and the EU with sufficient information to make an informed judgement about the progress and performance of the programme (its efficiency and effectiveness), decisions about any required changes to the operational scope for the remainder of the operational implementation period, establish lessons learnt for future interventions, and to make recommendations for institutionalisation of the programme post-EU funding.
The review team undertook a mixed methods approach, which included surveys, in-depth interviews, and a review of the extensive documentation compiled by the Programme Coordination Unit (PCU), the Learning Facility (LF), and the Delegation of the European Union in South Africa.
In all, 52 individuals were interviewed (including 16 of the 18 grantees), and surveys were completed by all 18 grantees and 48 participants from the Evidence-Based Policy-Making and Implementation course and the Poverty and Inequality course.
