​This project will evaluate Hageremariam Integrated Rural Development Project (HIRDP) and Asagirt Integrated Rural Development Programme (AIRDP), including a re-assessment of selected school construction costs. The evaluation is expected to assess the quality, impact, efficiency and effectiveness of HIRDP and AIRDP, and in particular to:

• Check up on the target achievements (target-performance comparison) for a selected sample of activities;
• Ascertain results and assess the effectiveness, efficiency and relevance of project activities for the above-selected samples;
• Create transparency (internally and to some extent externally) by providing information on procedures/workflow, target achievements and impacts for critical areas of financial flows;
• Appraise the sustainability and the lasting effects of the two projects.
