Final Evaluation of Development Account project titled Municipal Asset Management for Sustainable Development in Selected Least Developed Countries in Africa and Asia
Agency
United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs

Overview

While governments, donors and multilateral agencies invest in municipal finance, asset manage-ment has not been a priority, especially among Least Developed Countries (LDCs). Improvements in municipal asset management require sustained engagement and follow-up. The Municipal Asset Management for Sustainable Development in Selected LDCs in Africa and Asia project was approved for implementation under the 11th Tranche of the United Nations Development Account (UNDA) in 2017. Conducted in partnership with the United Nations Capacity Development Fund (UNCDF), the Financing for Sustainable Development Office (FSDO), a division within the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA), had the intent of strengthening the capacity of national and local government officials in Bangladesh, Nepal, Tanzania, and Uganda to more effectively and sustainably manage infrastructure assets over their entire lifespan in support of the Sustainable Development Goals. Local governments in the four LDCs were chosen in consultation with the cooperating entities and national governments to ensure the project leveraged existing work of partner agencies and fit well into national sustainable development strategies. Municipal authorities are ultimately responsible for providing basic and essential public goods and services, yet they lack the capacity in asset management and municipal finance. Therefore, the ultimate objective of this project is to improve municipal asset management by helping central and municipal level officials to meet a required level of basic services, in the most cost-effective manner, through the management of physical assets (land, buildings, infrastructure) for present and future customers. To accomplish this objective, the main product from exposure to the principles of lifecycle asset management and portfolio asset management is a customized Asset Management Action Plan (AMAP). Purpose, objectives, & scope The need for an independent evaluation guided the evaluation objective of assessing planned implementation compared to results achieved. The evaluation has the purpose of accountability, learning, and building knowledge to inform the next phase of the project. The key evaluation questions, applied in all four LCDs, adhere to the revised Organisation of Economic Cooperation and DevelopmentDevelopment Assistance Committee evaluation criteria, which are effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and orientation to impact of the project. This evaluation also examines how the project mainstreamed gender and human rights perspectives in its design and delivery.
