SWAp, Budget Support, Basket Funding
- New Aid Models & their implications for evaluation
In the context and as a consequence of the Paris
Declaration on Aid Effectiveness, the international development community has
introduced new aid models such as the programme-based approach, nation- and sector-wide
approaches as well as new financing instruments like pool or basket funding and
budget support. These instruments aim at a more effective coordination of
development measures of different donors, enhanced ownership of the partner
countries and an improved overall effectiveness of development aid. The new
instruments are rapidly gaining influence and have a strong impact on project
planning and project management as well as monitoring and evaluation methods
and practices.
The training course SWAp, Budget Support, Basket Funding – New Aid Models & their
Implications for Evaluation provides an opportunity for project and
evaluation managers as well as evaluators to gain and enhance their
qualifications in these recent trends. Participants will not only get a first
overview on these new approaches in development cooperation but will also
discuss and learn about possible consequences for evaluations by studying best
practise examples.
