Lesson Learned

Sector-specific technical capabilities should be required on the evaluation team when needed to assess key intermediate outcomes.

Sector-specific technical capabilities should be required on the evaluation team when needed to assess key intermediate outcomes. The evaluation team did not include irrigation infrastructure expertise and therefore, could not assess the actual state of the irrigation system in 2013. The post-project state of the infrastructure is an important aspect of assessing project results. Infrastructure evaluations should be designed to include a technical assessment of the improved infrastructure to ensure that it is functioning as envisioned after the compact.
