IFAD Post Procurement Reviews

The objective of the evaluation was to provide an independent assessment of the results of IFAD-funded activities in CCRIP and to generate findings and recommendations for ongoing and future IFAD operations in Bangladesh. The evaluation involved an in-depth review of project documentation and interviews with the Government, the Local Government Engineering Department (LGED), the project team, IFAD, co-financiers, partner organizations, and other key informants nationally and internationally, as well as interviews and data collection with a range of stakeholders in nine independently selected project communities. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all interviews had to be conducted remotely. The potential limitations of this approach were offset by the collection of spatial data (through geographic information systems [GIS]) and digital imagery, photos, and videos of project infrastructure, including for communities in areas that had been severely affected by Cyclone Amphan and subsequent widespread flooding in mid-2020, which enabled an additional assessment of the resilience of project infrastructure to extreme weather events. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10jfwnEiFzcN1ebhj5CHUyX2eabzvMMoF/view
