The portfolio evaluation aims to deliver learning to improve the current portfolio and better target future programming, and to provide accountability for a substantial research investment. The objectives of the portfolio evaluation are to assess: - the overall portfolio of research in relation to coherence, research gaps and inclusion (particularly but not exclusively gender and disability); - value for money of EGRT economic development programming; - outcomes and impacts in terms of policy and practice change and influencing the knowledge frontier. The evaluation will provide new insights from the evidence gathered and recommendations for further research programming, as well as for changes that could be made within existing programmes to improve impact and value for money. The programmes within scope for the evaluation are listed below (please note, these are subject to change): - Capacity for Economic Research and Policy-making in Africa (CERPA) - Development and Economic Growth Research Programme (DEGRP) - Gender, Growth and Labour Markets (G2LM) - Private Enterprise Development in Low-Income Countries (PEDL) - Economic Development and Institutions (EDI) - Structural Transformation and Economic Growth (STEG) - International Growth Centre (IGC) phase 3 An Early Market Engagement event is scheduled to take place virtually on Wednesday 17 April @ 11:00 – 12:30 GMT.
