challenges:

Not taking into consideration recommendations made by external evaluators diminishes the value of an evaluation and does not allow making progress

success:

n/a

context:

The evaluation of the 2015-2017 evaluation made 12 recommendations, of which several already were repeat recommendations from previous evaluations; 4 have not been taken into consideration.

description:

Independent evaluations are not sufficiently taken into consideration Besides assessing the progress of projects, an important part of an evaluation is to formulate recommendations which aim to correct and/or improve weaknesses observed by the evaluators. While recommendations can be accommodated when they are deemed to be somewhat unrealistic, they should not be ignored

administrative_issues:

Resources are often not necessary to follow recommendations but require the willingness to learn from independent consultants.
