Background

The Cambodian Rehabilitation and Development Board (CRDB) is an operational arm of the Council for the Development of Cambodia (CDC) with the mandate to act as the Royal Government of Cambodia's coordinating body for managing external aid, officially known as the Official Development Assistance (ODA) with line ministries and agencies and the development partners.

To successfully achieve the mandate in mobilizing and managing the ODA, as articulated in the government’s policy documents i.e. the Rectangular Strategy-Phase IV (RS4), the National Strategic Development Plan (NSDP) and the strategies at sector level, the RGC prepared and adopted the Development Cooperation and Partnerships Strategy 2019-2023 (DCPS-2019-2023) as a framework to guide for the successful implementation of its mandate. CRDB/CDC, as embedded in its mandate, is designated as the RGC’s secretariat to lead the implementation of the Strategy.

The current 5-year project, Partnerships for Development Results Phase II (PfDR-2), is a new phase of the development project that extends its advisory technical support activities to the Ministry of Planning (MOP) and CDC’s Industrial Development Policy (IDP) Secretariat to strengthen capacities and systems for managing multiple sources of development finance in the context to implement the RS4, NSDP as well as to integrate the SDGs and the preparation for LDC graduation. The project started from 01 January 2016 and will run until the end of 2020.

Duties and Responsibilities

This evaluation will provide information to RGC, project donors and other stakeholders about the project results achieved through its implementation, with the resources allocated. The evaluation will be used to inform the remaining period of project implementation, and its potential next phase.

This final evaluation is commissioned jointly between the Cambodian Rehabilitation and Development Board (CRDB/CDC) and UNDP in the final year of partnerships for Development Results Phase 2. The main purposes of the evaluation are to measure the progress of the project against its target results.

Specifically, the final evaluation will assess progress towards project outputs and outcomes as specified in the Project Document and the revised Results and Resources Framework.
