Results to Date

Information on results to date is available in the Table of Key Performance Indicators (a subset of the full set monitored under the Namibia Monitoring and Evaluation Plan). This will be posted as soon as it is available. The full set of performance indicators is detailed in the Monitoring and Evaluation Plan.

Impact Evaluation Framework

In addition to careful monitoring of implementation performance and measurement of preliminary results, several independent evaluations will be conducted to assess what would have happened in the absence of the MCC investments and measure the gains in income that can be attributed specifically to MCC-funded activities. More information is available in the Monitoring and Evaluation Plan.
