Past Evaluations
The African Development Bank Group (AfDB or “the Bank”) undertakes self-evaluations of its sovereign operations through Project Completion Reports (PCRs) prepared by the appropriate operations departments. These PCRs are then validated by IDEV, which produces independent PCR evaluation notes (PCRENs) and a synthesis report on each year’s PCRENs.
This synthesis report relates to the PCRENs of 65 PCRs selected from the 89 PCRs prepared in 2019, and summarizes:
IDEV has published its 2020 report assessing the follow-up by the African Development Bank (AfDB or "the Bank") of recommendations from its independent evaluations, which are tracked through the Management Action Record System (MARS). The assessment considered the evaluation recommendations with all their actions due by June 30, 2020, which represents 124 recommendations from 41 evaluations, with 394 actions.
Independent Development Evaluation (IDEV) at the African Development Bank (AfDB of "the Bank") conducted an evaluation of the Bank's country strategies and programs in Gabon, covering the period 2011-2020. The evaluation covered an overall portfolio of 1,093.65 million UA.
