Institutions for Inclusive Development (I4ID) programme intended to strengthen democratic institutions and governance in Tanzania so that they are more inclusive and accountable, and the resulting economic growth provides more benefits to the poor (women and men).
We worked in a consortium to deliver the design, mid-term review and final evaluation of the programme. I4ID’s fluid and inherent political character presented an opportunity for the evaluation to adopt an innovative approach – exploring the ‘how’ and ‘why’ of adaptive programming, rather than a traditional performance-based evaluation. The evaluation maintained a dual focus on programme-specific, as well as more generalised learning and uptake for the emerging field of adaptive programming globally. It also provided an opportunity to better understand how political transformation works in an environment where pathways to change are uncertain.
