This is the final external evaluation report of the project: Strengthening pro-growth macroeconomic management capacities for enhanced regional financial and monetary cooperation among selected countries of Latin America and the Caribbean, and West and Central Africa.
The project, was financed under the Development Account 8th Tranche with over half million USD, was implemented under the coordination of UNCTAD's Division on Globalisation and Development Strategies between July 2013 and April 2017.
The project aimed at strengthening pro-growth macroeconomic management capacities for enhanced regional financial and monetary cooperation. The implementation was for the most part geographically focused as initially planned, with some small changes reflecting prevailing conditions and the practicalities of research. It included research activities that potentially directly impacted on 46 countries (through their membership of multilateral or regional institutions and mechanisms) as well as co-hosting seminars and dissemination activities in eight.
The evaluation was carried out by an external evaluator during the period May-December 2017 in line with the norms, standards and ethical principles of the United Nations Evaluation Group as well as UNCTAD's Evaluation Policy. It was retrospective and summative in nature and the information was triangulated at different levels.
