Meeting of experts preparatory to the eleventh conference of African ministers of transport and communications: assessment of summary impact second mid-term evaluation of UNTACDA II

Abstract

Even though the second Decade has not yet ended there are still many projects under execution. This means that, the conditions for making an overall assessment of the impact of the Decade programme have not yet been met. However, considering the fact that, on the one hand, this second mid-term evaluation is being done within the Decade's seventh year and, on the other hand, that the terms of reference of this assessment deal with the preparation of a framework for action for the period 1997-2000, it is necessary to carry out, before the preparation of the draft of such a framework, a summary evaluation of the impact of fully funded projects executed of under execution in order to situate the results and the progress made in relation to the Decade expectations. This summary evaluation will examine the situation in relation to the sectoral objectives, on the one hand, and the global objectives on the other hand, and finally, the sub regional performance. It Will then consider the general problems that have affected the global implementation of the Decade programme.
