Completed for the Geneva Centre for Security Sector Governance (DCAF)
This joint final evaluation of the justice support programmes in the Democratic Republic of Congo implemented by the United Nations Development Programme between 2015 and 2020, aimed to:
1. To assess the overall achievements (in terms of effects) of the various interventions carried out by UNDP and its partners in the justice sector according to the criteria of relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability;
2. To identify and analyse the main internal and external factors that have helped or hindered the achievement of the expected effects;
3. To produce a log of good practices and the results of the evaluation;
4. To assess the impact of the programmes and the results achieved;
5. Identify and analyse the relevant and realistic strategic and programmatic orientations for intervention in the justice sector (penal chain) for the coming years.
The evaluation covers all justice sector support projects implemented by UNDP and its partners between January 2015 and February 2020. It thus covers all interventions carried out at the institutional, organisational and individual levels and at the central and provincial levels.
