Description The knowledge and support technical assistance cluster (C-KSTA) on Supporting Evaluations in Asia and the Pacific, 2020 2024, consisting of 3 subprojects, was approved by the Board of Directors of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on a no-objection basis on 27 August 2020. KSTA 6701 (Subproject 1 of the C-KSTA) is underway and agreed funding set aside for a regional assistance program evaluation, a corporate evaluation, and two sector-wide evaluations and validations of country partnership strategy final reviews, from its original scope. Subproject 2 will also fund high-level and other evaluations to improve ADB strategies, policies, processes, and operations. In doing so, Independent Evaluation Department (IED) follows internationally accepted principles and standards.
Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy Subproject 2 is aligned with the C-KSTAs impact of improved development effectiveness of ADB operations, policies, and business processes. Its intended outcome is the increased use of and learning from evaluations and their recommendations by the Development Effectiveness Committee (DEC), ADB Management and staff, and broader stakeholders. The implicit theory of change holds that under the 2022- 2024 work program, IED will deliver a combination of evaluations that are strategically and operationally relevant to Strategy 2030. These, along with their knowledge sharing and outreach, will in turn support more effective ADB policies, processes, and operations subsequently benefiting developing member countries (DMCs) in Asia and the Pacific.
