2014–2023·Sida (the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency)

Results follow-up in Swedish development aid

Settled/established
What happened
Sida's ability to measure and report the results of aid interventions has been reviewed on several occasions.
Who reviewed
The Expert Group for Aid Studies (EBA) and the Swedish National Audit Office (Riksrevisionen)
Criticism
Recurring criticism concerns that results reporting focuses on activities and outputs rather than effects, and that learning between interventions is weak.
Outcome
Updated instructions on results reporting, a new strategy and governance model, and a gradual build-up of the evaluation function.
Agency's own reply
Sida emphasises that the effects of development cooperation are hard to attribute, that the agency has worked on improved results reporting and that EBA's reports are used in its systematic learning.
