ADE has been entrusted by the Independent Development Evaluation unit (IDEV) to evaluate the African development Bank (AfDB) Group’s Country Strategy and Program (CSP) in Liberia.

Since 2013, with the global objective of participating to the country’s efforts towards economic diversification and socio-economic stability, the AfDB has been very active in Liberia in various sectors including agriculture, budgetary support, water and sanitation, energy, transport, finance and social sectors.

To address the multifaceted state of fragility of the country, the Bank has thus committed to an investment equivalent to more than 450 million USD over the period.

The evaluation conducted by ADE through portfolio analyses, on-site visits, interviews and focus group discussions will assess the design and implementation of the Bank-financed strategy, program, and operations, the effectiveness of the Bank’s CSPs in achieving expected development results as well as identifying the operational factors that enabled and/or hindered successful implementation.

Finally, the evaluation team will draw evidence-based lessons for improved design and implementation of the next Bank’s CSP cycle in Liberia.
