Mid-term evaluation
THE INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE INITIATIVE 27
Each IKI consortium project will be subject to a mid-term evaluation
The mid-term evaluation will be commissioned by ZUG with a separate budget for evaluation
Overarching objective of evaluation is to contribute to learning and programme management
(focus on standard criteria & learning questions)
Timeline will be aligned with project milestones to deliver relevant results for project
steering
Additional evaluation questions / focus areas may be suggested by the consortium, the
political partner and BMU
Impact evaluation
THE INTERNATIONAL CLIMATE INITIATIVE 28
Accompanying impact evaluation planned for evidence on impact-level for selected projects
Project pre-selected based on, among others, political relevance, ambition, scaling potential
Benefits: provides impact-level insights, options for scaling and additional visibility
Scientifically rigorous evaluation approach to be developed in collaboration with project
consortium
Managed by ZUG M&E unit with separate funding, but commitment by consortium & partners is
crucial
