The purpose of this evaluation was to provide evidence and learnings, to feed into the design of DFID’s strategy in supporting Zimbabwe, going forward. The evaluation also intended to optimise the impact, value for money, and targeting in programming.
We assessed the extent to which the portfolio (programmes and policy influencing) was aligned towards the business plan and portfolio objectives; the changes required to the portfolio to ensure DFID Zimbabwe maximises its contribution to the reduction of poverty in the country while addressing UK national priorities; and the relevance of the portfolio of interventions at thematic/programme level in the given socio, economic and political context of Zimbabwe.
