INTRODUCTION:The main difficulties encountered in the integration of ethics in Health Technology Assessment (HTA) were identified in our systematic review. In the process of analyzing these difficulties we then addressed the question of the diversity of ethical approaches (1) and the difficulties in their operationalization (2,3).METHODS:Nine ethical approaches were identified: principlism, casuistry, coherence analysis, wide reflexive equilibrium, axiology, socratic approach, triangular method, constructive technology assessment and social shaping of technology. Three criteria were used to clarify the nature of each of these approaches: 1.The characteristics of the ethical evaluation2.The disciplinary foundation of the ethical evaluation3.The operational process of the ethical evaluation in HTA analysis.RESULTS:In HTA, both norm-based ethics and value-based ethics are mobilized. This duality is fundamental since it proposes two different ethical evaluations: the first is based on the conformity to a norm, whereas the second rests on the actualization of values. The disciplinary foundation generates diversity as philosophy, sociology and theology propose different justifications for ethical evaluation. At the operational level, ethical evaluation's characteristics are applied to the case at stake by specific practical reasoning. In a norm-based practical reasoning, one must substantiate the facts that will be correlated to a moral norm for clearly identifying conformity or non-conformity. In value-based practical reasoning, one must identify the impacts of the object of assessment that will be subject to ethical evaluation. Two difficulties arise: how to apply values to facts and prioritize amongst conflicting ethical evaluations of the impacts?CONCLUSIONS:Applying these three criteria to ethical approaches in HTA helps understanding their complexity and the difficulty of operationalizing them in HTA tools. The choice of any ethical evaluations is never neutral; it must be justified by a moral point of view. Developing tools for ethics in HTA is operationalizing a specific practical reasoning in ethics.

Al-Husseini, Khansaa Azeez Obayes, Ali Hamzah Obaid, and Ola Najah Kadhim. "Evaluating the Effectiveness of E-learning: Based on Academic Staff Evaluation." Webology 19, no. 1 (January 20, 2022): 367–79. http://dx.doi.org/10.14704/web/v19i1/web19027.
E-learning has become a popular learning method used in many local and international universities and in many educational institutions. The initial achievements of e-learning platforms and the online learning environment demonstrated outstanding advantages in distance education. However, it is necessary to conduct an evaluation of the educational process, and in particular an effective assessment of the learning environment via online-based e-learning platforms. Where this study aimed to identify the evaluation of the effectiveness of e-learning from the point of view of the teaching staff in the Technical Institute of Babel and the Technical Institute Al-Mussaib. To achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers prepared a questionnaire containing (32) questions, after verifying the tools of reliability and validity. The results of the study revealed that the evaluation of the effectiveness of e-learning was average and above average in some paragraphs of the questionnaire. The percentage (84,070) of faculty members use computers and smart phones to publish academic content through the use of the home internet, at a rate of (95,575) in the form of creating educational content in several forms, including video, audio and text at the same time.

This article reviews the major approaches of program evaluation and evaluation in planning. The challenges to evaluating plans and planning are discussed, including the reliance on ex ante evaluations, a lack of outcome evaluation methodologies, the attribution gap, and institutional hurdles. Areas requiring further research are also highlighted, including the need to develop appropriate evaluation methodologies; creating stronger linkages between program evaluation and evaluation in planning; examining the institutional and political contexts guiding the use (and misuse) of evaluation in practice; and the importance of training and educating planners on evaluation.

Active engagement of youth participants in the evaluation process is an increasingly sought out method, but the field can still benefit from new methods that ease youth participatory evaluation implementation. Meaningful youth engagement in the evaluation process is particularly advantageous under the 4-H thriving model because of its potential to contribute to positive youth development, foster relationship building, enhance evaluation capacity, and improve program quality through improved evaluations. This program sought to facilitate actively engaging youth in the evaluation process by breaking it up into clear and manageable steps including evaluation design, data collection, data interpretation and analysis, reporting results, and outlining programmatic change. To achieve this aim, program staff designed the Evaluation Skill-a-Thon, a set of self-paced, experiential evaluation activities at various stations through which youth participants rotate. Actively involving youth participants in the evaluation process using the Skill-a-Thon model resulted in youth being able to identify and design programmatic changes, increased participation and response rates in other evaluations, and several youth participants’ gaining an interest in evaluation and working to design evaluations in later years. The Evaluation Skill-a-Thon holds promise for actively engaging youth participants in the entire evaluation process, easy implementation, and increasing evaluation capacity.

Kunieda, Yoshiaki. "Effectiveness of Self-Evaluation, Peer Evaluation and 2nd-Step Self-Evaluation- Covering Anchoring Training in Maritime Education and Training." Advances in Social Sciences Research Journal 9, no. 12 (January 5, 2023): 567–79. http://dx.doi.org/10.14738/assrj.912.13718.
Evaluation is an essential part of education and training, and it can be used in maritime education and training to help learners organize their knowledge and improve their skills, as well as to improve education and training methods. In this study, self-evaluation and mutual evaluation were conducted during anchoring training on the training ship Shioji Maru belonging to the Tokyo University of Marine Science and Technology. In a survey of students trained in 2020 and 2021 regarding the acquisition of knowledge and skills, 94.5% of students rated themselves as “very effective” or “effective” in their self-evaluation and 92.0% of students rated themselves as “very effective” or “effective” in their mutual evaluation. Comparing the self-evaluation scores with the mutual evaluation scores, it was found that the mutual evaluation scores tended to rank higher than the self-evaluation scores. This is thought to be due to a lack of confidence in one’s own ship handling skills, which leads to harsh evaluations of oneself and more lenient evaluations of others. It was also found that the higher the instructor’s evaluation score, the smaller the difference between the self-evaluation score and the instructor’s evaluation score. Students with higher scores in the instructor’s evaluation were more confident in their ship handling skills, which is thought to indicate that they can evaluate themselves more accurately. On the other hand, self-evaluation was conducted at an early stage immediately after the training, and the bridge operation team and the entire team also conducted the self-evaluation again after the debriefing. In other words, a 2nd-step self-evaluation was conducted through two evaluations conducted at different times. We show the results of a qualitative analysis of the students’ impressions and opinions of these self-evaluations and peer evaluation using the steps for coding and theorization (SCAT) method.

Guenther, John, and Ian H. Falk. "Generalising from qualitative evaluation." Evaluation Journal of Australasia 21, no. 1 (March 2021): 7–23. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1035719x21993938.
Evaluations are often focused on assessing merit, value, outcome or some other feature of a programme, project, policy or some other object. Evaluation research is then more concerned with the particular rather than the general – even more so, when qualitative methods are used. But does this mean that evaluations should not be used to generalise? If it is possible to generalise from evaluations, under what circumstances can this be legitimately achieved? The authors of this article have previously argued for generalising from qualitative research (GQR), and in this article, they extrapolate the discussion to the field of evaluation. First, the article begins with a discussion of the definitions of generalisability in research, recapping briefly on our arguments for GQR. Second, the differentiation between research and evaluation is explored with consideration of what literature there is to justify generalisation from qualitative evaluation (GQE). Third, a typology derived from the literature is developed, to sort 54 evaluation projects. Fourth, material from a suite of evaluation projects is drawn from to demonstrate how the typology of generalisation applies in the context of evaluations conducted in several fields of study. Finally, we suggest a model for GQE.
The aims of this paper are to: 1)-Introduce current evaluation framework; 2)- Explore methods/tools used in E-Health evaluation; 3)- Identify research methods/tools used in E-Health evaluation; and 4)- Develop an evaluation plan for a systemic E-Health initiative.

The planning and commissioning procedure of evaluations with sustainable development as part of a Tool Box." Forschungsschwerpunkt Nachhaltigkeit und Umweltmanagement, WU Vienna University of Economics and Business, 2003. http://epub.wu.ac.at/536/1/document.pdf.
In the context of sustainable development, evaluations have particularly high relevance as complex issues have to be dealt with generally over an extended period of time. Furthermore, there is a growing demand to evaluate against the concept of sustainable development. Especially evaluations with sustainable development are a rather new type of evaluation, as the source of its evaluation questions and the criteria applied are rooted in the concept of sustainable development. Sustainability of a specific project or process is often highly case specific as sustainable development is determined by many often unique issues. However, evaluations would be highly inefficient, if they would have to be newly designed in every case. Thus it is necessary to determine and utilize the major issues for evaluations with sustainable development. This paper is part of a series of three papers - which can be used independently - that present the major common issues for evaluations with sustainable development in a Tool Box. The results presented here are based on outcomes of a research project funded by the "Austrian Science Fund". This paper includes the evaluation planning and commissioning procedure. It describes the steps from the idea to implementation of an evaluation with sustainable development. In the context of general requirements of evaluation planning and commissioning, the special features of evaluations with sustainable development are highlighted.

Bogart, Christopher D. "Teacher Evaluation and Classroom Practice: Teacher Perceptions in Northeast Tennessee." Digital Commons @ East Tennessee State University, 2013. https://dc.etsu.edu/etd/1177.
The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the perceptions of K-12 teachers as they relate to the implementation of the Tennessee Educator Acceleration (TEAM) evaluation framework. Survey links were sent to 1,115 K-12 teachers from 4 Northeast Tennessee school districts. The survey achieved a 24% return rate for a total of 270 participants. The research evaluated K-12 teachers’ overall perceptions of the TEAM evaluation framework, their perceptions of changes to their lesson planning processes, their perceptions of changes in the use of instructional strategies in their classrooms, and their perceptions of changes in the amount of time needed to prepare lessons for instruction since the implementation of the TEAM evaluation framework. Data sources analyzed consisted of an online survey design using a 5-point Likert-type scale. There were 4 research questions included in this research each with a corresponding null hypothesis. Each research question was analyzed with a series of single sample t-tests with mid-point of the scale (3.0) as the test value representing neutrality. All data were analyzed at the .05 level of significance. Findings from the data indicated a significant difference in perceptions of teachers in 3 of 4 areas. First the planning process for their lessons was reported to be more structured and focused on the evaluation rubric. Next, the instructional strategies used in their lessons were reported as more focused on higher order thinking skills. And finally the time required to plan instruction had increased since the implementation of the TEAM framework.

This thesis contains six papers closely related to current research topics in the field of economic evaluation in health care. The thesis discusses methodological features of cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) and cost-benefit analysis (CBA). It further relates to issues of modelling and how to account for uncertainty in economic evaluations. The thesis contributes both with an analysis of the costs and benefits of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and new approaches for analysing uncertainty in economic evaluations. The first part of the thesis (Papers 1-4) analyses the costs and benefits of HRT in the prevention and treatment of postmenopausal women’s health problems. The second part of the thesis (Papers 5-6) analyses issues of uncertainty in economic evaluations. Contents: Paper 1: Willingness to Pay for Hormone Replacement Therapy.

Dunlea, Allen Leo. "Evaluating Usability Evaluations." DigitalCommons@CalPoly, 2013. https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/theses/1014.
We live in an age when consumers can now shop and browse the web using hand-held devices. This means that competitive companies need to have a website to represent their brand and to conduct business. E-commerce sites need to pay special attention to the usability of their sites, since it has such an impact on how potential costumers view their brand.
Jakob Nielsen defines usability as a "quality attribute that assesses how easy user interfaces are to use"; he separates usability into five quality components: learnability, efficiency, memorability, errors and satisfaction. The current standard for testing usability involves having a number of users physically use a site in order to determine where they have trouble. This kind of usability testing can be time consuming and costly.
In order to mitigate some of these costs, many tools are being developed to help automate the process. However, many automated tools evaluate only one of the five components, or simply look for errors. In an attempt to increase the reliability and scope of such testing, this paper investigates the effectiveness of automated usability evaluators and proposes methods for future researchers to test them. Specifically, this paper details an experiment performed to test the some freely available usability evaluators against more traditional usability evaluations. The experiment attempts to determine whether automatic usability evaluations might be used as a cheaper alternative to more traditional usability evaluations.

Alternative high schools serve some of the most vulnerable students and their programs present a significant challenge to evaluate. Determining the impact of an alternative high school that serves mostly at-risk students presented a significant research problem. Few studies exist that dig deeper into the characteristics and strategies of successful alternative schooling. Moreover valid program evaluation methods to identify successful alternative school practices are hit and miss. As a result, public policy and systems of accountability have either disregarded information relating to alternative high schools or unjustifiably included them in comparisons with traditional high schools.
This dissertation studied the issue of how best to evaluate alternative high schools and what tools support leaders in planning a thorough and accurate program evaluation. The Alternative High School Program Evaluation Toolkit was developed to support school leaders and evaluation teams made up of internal and external stakeholders as they facilitate the program evaluation process. The features of the Toolkit address the need for alternative school evaluation to be practical, useful, fair and accurate. The Evaluation Toolkit includes training materials, protocols, an evaluation planning worksheet and an evaluation planning matrix that supports the team in conducting the evaluation.
The research represented in this dissertation is theoretically and practically grounded in Bridges and Hallinger's (1995) Problem-Based Learning (PBL) and Borg and Gall's (1989) Research and Development (R&D) Cycle. The product of the R&D Cycle was the Alternative High School Program Evaluation Toolkit and a process for use by evaluation teams assigned the task of planning and carrying out program evaluations.

Country portfolio analysis, a commonly used tool among companies when evaluating potential target markets, only focus on potential sales instead of including cost and risk into the equation. However, some researchers today have become aware of the importance of taking these costs and risks into account. One of these researchers is Pankaj Ghemawat, who has developed a framework called CAGE which is supposed to be a complementary tool to the country portfolio analysis model. In this thesis we study if Swedish MNCs consider the factors suggested in the CAGE-framework when evaluating emerging markets. Furthermore, we suggest some adjustments to the evaluation process.
Data have been collected through a web-based questionnaire. The respondents were all headquarter managers in Swedish multinational corporations (MNCs). Our results show that the two most overlooked distances of the CAGE-framework are the cultural and the geographic distances. Hence, the two most considered were the economic and administrative distances. This is in partial accordance with Ghemawat’s theory, in which he states that the cultural distance is one of the two most overlooked distances. However, he presents administrative distance as the second most overlooked distance, which means that our thesis shows a somewhat different result than Ghemawat’s findings.
A company evaluating an entry into an emerging market needs to consider the CPA-model, but this is not enough. They also need to take other factors into account. These are previous as well as future growth of the market, predicted growth for the specific product or service in the market in question, and the competitive situation in the emerging market. A consideration of these factors gives the company a complete picture of a market regarding profit potential. Thereafter, this potential needs to be adjusted for the distances in the CAGE-framework.

Wanzer, Dana Linnell. "Developmentally Appropriate Evaluations: How Evaluation Practices Differ Across Age of Participants." Scholarship @ Claremont, 2017. https://thesiscommons.org/bk57d.
It is well-known that meaningful differences in development exist among children, adolescents, and adults. However, to what extent do evaluators adapt their approach, designs, and methods to be responsive to a youth population? This study used an experimental simulation in which practicing evaluators designed an evaluation of a hypothetical tutoring program and were randomly assigned to the program serving children, adolescents, or young adults. Results indicate that evaluators were less likely to be participatory—both in the evaluation overall and in data collection—when the participants of the program were children than when they were adults. These findings suggest that evaluators, even those with experience conducting evaluations of youth programs, do not consider age as a meaningful cultural context and may need additional training in conducting developmentally appropriate evaluations.

AbstractAgents evaluate their performances to assess progress, learn, and improve. In doing so, they refer to criteria of various kinds. Some criteria are deeply encoded in mental models, organizational procedures, or cultural norms and logics, while other evaluative criteria are adaptive and may upregulate or downregulate, depending on the agent’s goals, expectations, and context. Here, too, digitalization is transformative. Artificial agents bring unprecedented power to the evaluation of performance, including the rapid intra-cyclical evaluation of ongoing processes. These mechanisms support feedforward guidance in real time. Therefore, when human and artificial agents combine in the evaluation of augmented performance, they face additional risks. Artificial evaluative processing could be fast and precise, while at the same time, human evaluation may be relatively sluggish and imprecise. Overall evaluations of performance could be distorted and dysfunctional.

It is important to evaluate environmental fatigue for establishing long-term maintenance plans as part of Plant Life Management (PLM) activities for nuclear power plants. In Japan, the former MITI requested the utilities in 2000 to use “The Guidelines for Evaluating Fatigue Initiation Life Reduction in LWR Environment (MITI guidelines)” for PLM evaluation. In 2002, Thermal and Nuclear Power Engineering Society (TENPES) issued the guidelines for applying the evaluation formulas of MITI guidelines to actual plants. At present, fatigue evaluations taking into account environmental effects as part of PLM activities are conducted in accordance with these guidelines. This paper describes how a typical PWR plant conducts such an evaluation. The Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers (JSME) is now drawing up a code for environmental fatigue evaluation, incorporating the latest data on fatigue experiments and know-how on fatigue evaluation. After being issued, this code will be used to evaluate environmental fatigue in PLM activities.

Currently, there is renewed focus on the importance of views in evaluating window performance. In addition, previous studies have shown that the amount of daylight perceived by people may be influenced by the view rather than the actual amount of light, however, the relationship between them has not yet been clarified and needs to be examined. In this study, evaluations on window view and daylight were extracted from a questionnaire survey on environmental adjustment behaviour in housing, which was conducted in the Kanto region of Japan, and their psychological relationships were examined. The results of the analysis showed that the evaluation of daylighting was infected to some extent by evaluating the view at the window. This indicated that the evaluation of the view at the window can serve as a basis for evaluating the visual environment through windows.

One of the ways to evaluate a system is from Textual Evaluation. This type of evaluation consider the textual user’s opinions to infer aspects of the interaction with the system. Although this method covers many texts and consi- ders spontaneous narratives of the users, it takes a lot of time and effort. Some authors have reported on the need to compare evaluations techniques in order to investigate their effectiveness in revealing issue or to supplement the results of a systems assessment. This study presents a comparative analysis between the textual evaluation and user testing. A case study was performed evaluating the usability and user experience of a health app. As a result, the techniques were analyzed based on aspects that involved describing the results, resources needed and description of problems and users.

Crowdsourced evaluation is a promising method for evaluating attributes of design concepts that require human input. One factor in obtaining good evaluations is the ratio of high-ability to low-ability participants within the crowd. In this paper we introduce a Bayesian network model capable of finding participants with high design evaluation ability, so that their evaluations may be weighted more than those of the rest of the crowd. The Bayesian network model also estimates a score of how well each design concept performs with respect to a design attribute without knowledge of the true scores. Monte Carlo simulation studies tested the quality of the estimations on a variety of crowds consisting of participants with different evaluation ability. Results suggest that the Bayesian network model estimates design attribute performance scores much closer to their true values than simply weighting the evaluations from all participants in the crowd equally. This finding holds true even when the group of high ability participants is a small percentage of the entire crowd.

The second edition of the Impact Evaluation in Practice handbook is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to impact evaluation for policy makers and development practitioners. First published in 2011, it has been used widely across the development and academic communities. The book incorporates real-world examples to present practical guidelines for designing and implementing impact evaluations. Readers will gain an understanding of impact evaluations and the best ways to use them to design evidence-based policies and programs. The updated version covers the newest techniques for evaluating programs and includes state-of-the-art implementation advice, as well as an expanded set of examples and case studies that draw on recent development challenges. It also includes new material on research ethics and partnerships to conduct impact evaluation. The handbook is divided into four sections: Part One discusses what to evaluate and why; Part Two presents the main impact evaluation methods; Part Three addresses how to manage impact evaluations; Part Four reviews impact evaluation sampling and data collection. Case studies illustrate different applications of impact evaluations. The book links to complementary instructional material available online, including an applied case as well as questions and answers. The updated second edition will be a valuable resource for the international development community, universities, and policy makers looking to build better evidence around what works in development.

Approach Paper: Country Program Evaluation: Honduras (2011-2014). Inter-American Development Bank, May 2014. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0010582.
As part of its 2014 annual work plan, the Office of Evaluation and Oversight(OVE) is preparing the Country Program Evaluation (CPE) with Honduras for the period 2011-2014. This approach paper defines the evaluation's scope. This CPE therefore aims to analyze the Bank's relationship with the country, taking an independent and comprehensive view, particularly the program's relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability, including both financial and nonfinancial products offered by the Bank during the period under analysis. This evaluation is intended as an input to the new country strategy document being prepared by the Bank. This CPE is the fourth OVE evaluation of the Bank's program with Honduras. Past evaluations covered the periods 1990-2000 (document RE-263), 2001-2006 (document RE-328), and 2007-2010 (document RE-390). This CPE covers the Bank's program for the period 2011-2014.

The objective of this research was to provide an evaluation of commercially available CP survey equipment used for measuring off-potentials on a pipeline. The objective was accomplished by a series of field evaluations on operating pipelines designed to provide a wide range of conditions for evaluating the instrumentation. The primary incentive for this research was to provide the participating PRC members with an evaluation of the off-potential measurement systems commercially available, such that a basis is established for considering and selecting the most appropriate equipment for their particular application.

'Development evaluations in Uganda 2000–2018: A Country Evaluation Map' is a CEDIL Synthesis Working Paper. It is a report on the first of its kind country evaluation map for a single country. The map identifies 617 evaluations in multiple sectors. Nearly 60 per cent of the studies contain process evaluation evidence and over 40 per cent are impact evaluations. The map helps make visible recent development evaluations from the country, identifies potential gaps in knowledge and opportunities for evidence synthesis. Users can submit studies for inclusion in the map, thus giving the map a repository function.

This technical note analyzes the methodologies used to evaluate neighborhood upgrading programs, describes their results, and suggests approaches for future evaluations. Local and central governments are increasingly utilizing slum or neighborhood upgrading programs to deal with the multiple problems of urban poverty. These programs employ a methodology of integral interventions, combining of both infrastructure works and social services targeted to specific neighborhoods. Due to this variety of interventions the assessment of their impact is complicated and requires a comprehensive approach. This document analyzes the methods used in the evaluation of a number of upgrading programs either looking at individual interventions or their combined outcomes. It proposes a methodological approach for their assessment based on three categories of outcomes: housing, neighborhood, and individual. For each type of outcome, the authors present a literature review of common interventions and their evaluation results. The document also suggests relevant indicators for evaluating slum upgrading programs according to these three types of outcomes, and finally, it presents methodological issues to take into consideration when designing the evaluations of integral programs.

The Malawi country evaluation map was created to promote the knowledge and use of development project evaluations in Malawi. It presents 576 project evaluations from nine databases and a targeted Google search. Malawi has very many evaluations of health, agricultural development and economic development interventions. Education, governance and public sector, and social protection all have a broad evidence base. These areas are ripe for summaries of lessons learned from these evaluations. The primary function of the country evaluation map is to increase knowledge and accessibility of project evaluations of development projects in Malawi. This map can be used by policymakers and researchers alike to understand what development project evaluations have been done and where there is a need for more research.

Efforts in the United States and abroad to address the chronic disease epidemic have led to the emergence of voluntary industry agreements as a substitute for regulatory approaches to improve the healthfulness of foods and beverages. Because of the lack of access to data and limited budgets, evaluations of these agreements have often been limited to process evaluation with less focus on outcomes and impact. Increasing scientific scope and rigor in evaluating voluntary food and beverage industry agreements would improve potential public health benefits and understanding of the effects of these agreements. We describe how evaluators can provide formative, process, and outcome assessment and discuss challenges and opportunities for impact assessment. We explain how logic models, industry profiles, quasi-experimental designs, mixed-methods approaches, and third-party data can improve the effectiveness of agreement design and evaluation. These methods could result in more comprehensive and rigorous evaluation of voluntary industry agreements, thus providing data to bolster the public health impacts of future agreements. However, improved access to data and larger evaluation budgets will be needed to support improvements in evaluation.

Country Program Evaluation: Guatemala 2012-2016. Inter-American Development Bank, November 2016. http://dx.doi.org/10.18235/0010671.
This Country Program Evaluation (CPE) for Guatemala covers the period 2012-2016. It is the fourth occasion on which OVE has evaluated the Bank's program with the country. The previous evaluations covered the periods 1993-2003 (document RE-304-2), 2004-2007 (document RE-352), and 2008-2011 (document RE-404). In the context of the 2016 merger of the Bank's private sector windows (the Structured and Corporate Financing Department and the Opportunities for the Majority Sector) with the Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC), OVE has also been given the mandate of evaluating all operations financed by the IIC. This evaluation looks at the IDB Group's relationship with the country from an independent perspective, with particular reference to the relevance and effectiveness of the program. The evaluation is organized into four chapters, plus annexes. Chapter I assesses the general context of the country. Chapter II provides a general analysis of the Bank's program in 2012-2016, with particular reference to the relevance of the country strategy and the program as actually implemented. Chapter III analyzes, from a sector perspective, the implementation, effectiveness, and sustainability of the operations, and of progress toward the strategic objectives proposed by the Bank in its country strategy. Chapter IV presents conclusions and recommendations.
