External Mid-Term Evaluation of PARM Horizon 2 – Final Report

In 2023, PARM underwent an external Mid-Term Evaluation (MTE) to scrutinize the first half of its second phase. The evaluation aimed to assess the relevance, efficiency, coherence, effectiveness, impact, sustainability, gender mainstreaming, and coordination of PARM’s processes and activities from June 2019 to July 2023. The final report details the findings gathered from the interviews and the assessment of PARM’s mandate, intervention in five operational countries (Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Niger, and Senegal), institutional structure, and processes. In sum, the consulting firm suggests including better tailored approaches, regular risk analysis updates, broadened workshop scope, increased global participation, and enhanced public-private partnerships to sustain the success of PARM Horizon 2 by 2025.
