Evaluation and Aid Effectiveness 2
EVALUATION AND AID EFFECTIVENESS 2 (YDOXDWLQJ &RXQWU\ 3URJUDPPHV Vienna Workshop, 1999 DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE COMMITTEE © OECD 1999 1 O E C D FOREWORD Since the mid-1980s development agencies have increasingly targeted development assistance at the country level. This approach provides a rational framework that can be used to improve relevance, effectiveness and coherence of development assistance programmes. The increasingly widespread adoption of country assistance strategies has challenged evaluators to assess results at the country level. As documented in this publication, development agencies have employed a range of different approaches to carry out country programme evaluations. In order to review these experiences and to share lessons about strengths and weaknesses inherent in different approaches to country programme evaluation, the Working Party on Aid Evaluation organised a workshop in Vienna on 11 - 12 March 1999. This workshop principally focused on progress made since the first country programme evaluation workshop, also held in Vienna, in May 1994. This publication provides a unique overview of approaches and methods for country programme evaluation. It contains i) an analytical review of the workshop’s main findings; ii) an overview of the state- of-the-art approaches and methodologies used for country programme evaluations; and iii) the case studies, which were presented and discussed at the workshop. Special thanks are due to the Austrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs -- who hosted the workshop -- for their hospitality and assistance, and in particular to Brigitte Dekrout, Director of the Department for Audit and Evaluation. We are also grateful to DAC Members who contributed interesting case studies (France, Germany, the Netherlands, Switzerland, United States, European Commission, Inter-American Development Bank and the World Bank), and financial support (Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands and United Kingdom). -
CORI Country Report Bangladesh, March 2012
Confirms CORI country of origin research and information CORI Country Report Bangladesh, March 2012 CORI Country Report; Bangladesh, March 2012 Preface Country of Origin Information (COI) is required within Refugee Status Determination (RSD) to provide objective evidence on conditions in refugee producing countries to support decision making. Quality information about human rights, legal provisions, politics, culture, society, religion and healthcare in countries of origin is essential in establishing whether or not a person’s fear of persecution is well founded. CORI Country Reports are designed to aid decision making within RSD. They are not intended to be general reports on human rights conditions. They serve a specific purpose, collating legally relevant information on conditions in countries of origin, pertinent to the assessment of claims for asylum. Categories of COI included within this report are based on the most common issues arising from asylum applications made by Bangladeshi nationals. This report covers events up to 31 March 2012. COI is a specific discipline distinct from academic, journalistic or policy writing, with its own conventions and protocols of professional standards as outlined in international guidance such as The Common EU Guidelines on Processing Country of Origin Information, 2008 and UNHCR, Country of Origin Information: Towards Enhanced International Cooperation, 2004. CORI provides information impartially and objectively, the inclusion of source material in this report does not equate to CORI agreeing with its content or reflect CORI’s position on conditions in a country. It is acknowledged that all sources have a bias, it is for decision makers to place a weight on sources, assessing relevance to each individual application. -

PPRC Newsletter Issue 2 January 2015 Message from Chairman
PPRC Newsletter Issue 2 January 2015 Message from Chairman The PPRC interns have done a splendid job in helping to launch the PPRC Newsletter. The lead article in this second instalment is on the highly topical issue of governance. The article draws on the first of the planned annual report series on the state of governance that was launched in early 2014. A second article looks at innovative use of Zakat for supporting sustainable livelihoods of the poor. As we say goodbye to 2014 and welcome 2015, we at PPRC are looking ahead to an exciting year of new activities and challenges. In April, 2015, PPRC with the support of national and international partners will be hosting an international conference on the challenges and the way forward on realizing the goals of universal health coverage (UHC). In partnership with WWF, PPRC will be preparing a strategic document on emerging water scenarios and attendant economic risks. We shall also be taking forward our partnership with BBS on urban statistics and plan to host an international conference on urban poverty. Details of these and other PPRC initiatives can be seen at our upgraded website (www.pprcbd.org). One of our key motto is relevant research for relevant action. We welcome your feedback to help keep us engaged on this mission. - Hossain Zillur Rahman Photo: Tanzib Ahsan.
