Joint evaluation study of provision of technical assistance personnel: what can we learn from promising experiences?

This study was commissioned by AusAID, the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. It aims to contribute to the current discussions on aid effectiveness and capacity development. The study's objective is to identify what works in relation to the deployment of technical-assistance personnel, and to see what initiatives or reforms are being taken to improve practice.

The report, undertaken by the European Centre for Development Policy Management, draws on the findings of three country studies conducted in Mozambique, Solomon Islands and Vietnam, a workshop held in the Netherlands in May 2007, as well as a review of the wider literature, earlier summarised in the study's inception report. The overview report summarises the recommendations from the study.

The country studies and report are available for download from this page.
