Approach Paper: Country Program Evaluation: Bahamas 2010-2017

As part of its 2016-17 work plan, the Office of Evaluation and Oversight (OVE) is preparing the evaluation of the Inter-American Development Bank Group’s (IDBG) country program with The Bahamas for the period January 2010–June 2017. Thispaper sets out the proposed approach and methodology for the planned Country Program Evaluation (CPE), OVE’s third occasion for the country. Like other CPEs, this evaluation will seek to examine IDB’s relationship with the country from an independent perspective. It aims both to strengthen accountability and facilitate learning and serve as an input to the new country strategy that is under preparation for 2018–2022.
