Joint evaluation of the impacts of assistance to social sector reforms

The main purpose of the evaluation was to generate knowledge from the results of Sida support to social sector reforms through twelve projects and programmes in the Republic of Moldova, in order to provide lessons learnt for the Moldovan ministries and authorities concerned in the planning for the future direction for the sector, and for donors and implementing agencies involved as to how to best assist the reforms. Since the Swedish support to social sector reforms was being phased out in Moldova, the evaluation provided important lessons for Sweden as to how to phase out development cooperation assistance in a responsible way, ensuring the sustainability of results.
