While all evaluations are expected to support accountability, capture experiences and knowledge to strengthen work within the country, the region and the wider organization, some are demanded by the donor community. It is mandatory for GEF medium scale and large scale project evaluations to be implemented at both mid-term and terminal phases. Furthermore, other programme and projects under implementation represent a significant financial investment over time. For example, the country programme which will be implemented over a period of five years attracts a responsibility by both UNDP, national partners and other contributing stakeholders to track progress, its relevance and whether or not planned results being are being achieved. The evaluation plan also complements the Government of Botswana’s appetite to evaluate itself and make evidence based decision making through the National Monitoring and Evaluation System.
