Summary of project activities and outcomes:

This evaluation comprised an operational review and institutional assessment of the African Water Facility (AWF) in the African Development Bank. The work was done in collaboration with Hydroconseil. The purpose of the evaluation was to review the performance of the Facility in order to make a reality check on the initial assumptions and attendant expectations as well as chart the way forward. The outcomes of the review are important for the AfDB which is hosting the Facility, the donors who need to account to their constituencies on the use of public funds provided to the Facility, and to the Facility itself which needs the feedback to better strategise and programme. The final report recommendations were supported by the donor funders of the AWF.
