Introduction

The Federal Democratic Republic of Ethiopia and UNDP cooperate in advancing sustainable human development. The current UNDP Ethiopia country programme (CP) covers the four-year period 2012–2015 with an approved budget of $181.7 million. The CP has three strategic priorities: (1) swifter economic growth and poverty reduction; (2) development of a low-carbon and climate-resilient economy; and (3) democratic governance and capacity development. The CP duration was extended to mid-2016 to align with Ethiopia’s national development planning cycle. In accordance with the UNDP Evaluation Policy, the Independent Evaluation Office (IEO) of UNDP conducted a country-level evaluation, or Assessment of Development Results (ADR), in Ethiopia in 2015. This is the second ADR carried out by IEO in Ethiopia.
