This assignment, an evaluation of IBON International and the CSO Partnership for Development Effectiveness (CPDE) Project, was commissioned by Sida through the framework agreement on evaluation services. The evaluation has been conducted by a team from NIRAS consisting of Annika Nilsson (Team Leader and main author of this report), Catherine Ngugi, Ellen Girerd Barclay, Ica Fernandez and Jonas Norén. Ellen Girerd Barclay and Jérôme Gouzou managed the evaluation process from the head office, and quality assurance was conducted by Niels Dabelstein. The evaluation was undertaken during the period September 2018 and February 2019.

We would like to thank Sida, CPDE and other stakeholders for allocating the time to speak to the evaluation team and for the openness to provide information and participate in frank discussions.
