Abstract
This evaluation report synthesizes the
findings of a multi-partner effort to assess implementation
of the Comprehensive Development Framework (CDF). The
evaluation's primary objectives are to: Identify the
factors that have facilitated implementation of CDF
principles, and those that have hindered it. Assess the
extent to which CDF implementation has affected intermediate
outcomes and, to the extent possible, longer-term
development outcomes. In the mid-1990s, the aid community
began a candid self-assessment. Disappointing development
results-especially in Sub-Saharan Africa-had raised
troubling questions: Does the emphasis on structural
adjustment ignore the poor? Do the many agencies and
international organizations working in developing countries
overburden, rather than strengthen, the capacity of
recipient governments? Does the poor coordination of donors
add to the challenge of making development effective?
Increasingly, the painful realization of development
agencies, recipient countries, and aid analysts was
"yes"-the full potential of international aid to
reduce poverty by achieving positive, sustainable
development results was not being fulfilled.
