Abstract:
The aim of the capacity-building programme was to provide participants with a basic understanding of the CBA framework and key concepts. It was intended as a first step to generate awareness and interest in CBA, which could be further developed and expanded if found to be useful.
An internal evaluation was undertaken to assess the effectiveness of this CBA capacity-building initiative, and to inform the design of any future CBA capacity-building programmes. The evaluation approach combined both process and impact/outcome evaluation considerations and also combined quantitative and qualitative methodologies to measure success and identify key learnings.
A separate report, PACC Technical Report No. 2, synthesises the CBA reports completed under the work programme and assesses the effectiveness of these CBAs for improving selection and design of PACC pilot projects.
