Evaluation of the 2019-2024 cooperation programme between Rwanda & Belgium

This Final Evaluation seeks to assess the implementation of the Belgian–Rwanda bilateral portfolio implemented by Enabel over the period 2019-2024, and the extent to which the results (output, outcomes) of its interventions have been reached. The analysis will cover the global portfolio level based on the performance of the 4 sectors of intervention (Health, Agriculture, Urban Development and Public Finance Management -PFM), cross-cutting issues (gender and private sector development – PSD), and cross-cutting activities (analytical work, policy dialogue). The additional interventions managed by Enabel in Rwanda over the 2018-2024 period1 are not directly concerned the review but they are taken into account when assessing the global coherence of the portfolio. The analysis focused mainly on a set of 7 evaluation questions (EQ) dealing with: i) programme performance; ii) the Rwanda-Belgium partnership; iii) the added value of complementary funding received by Enabel; iv) the unexpected effects of the portfolio; v) the way the strengthening of value chains in agriculture and urbanization contributed to job creation and job consolidation; vi) the way action research influenced health policy; and vii) the way gender integration was operationalized within the sexual and reproductive health program. The users of the evaluation include the various project teams, Enabel country management and headquarters, and the Rwandan Authorities. The work was divided in 3 phases: i) preparation, ii) data collection (including a 19-day mission in Rwanda), and iii) analysis, restitution and report drafting (Figure 2). The data collection phase included visits to a wide set of project and portfolio stakeholders (Enabel staff, project actors, Rwandan authorities, development partners). The in-country data collection mission involved visits to Bugesera, Gakenke, Gicumbi, Gisagara, Karongi, Musanze, Ngoma, Nyarugenge, Rubavu, Rwamagana, along with Kigali.
