Aid for Trade: A Meta-evaluation
Abstract
This following study is a “meta-evaluation” of the way aid agencies evaluate and assess their
trade-related operations – and was undertaken as part of the OECD’s broader efforts to improve the
effectiveness of aid-for-trade. It focuses on 162 evaluations of operations in two countries - Ghana and
Vietnam - and two sectors - transport and storage - between 1999 and 2010. In particular, it looks at
whether trade was a true objective of the operations under scrutiny, and whether trade and
development outcomes were evaluated. More broadly, it asks whether the evaluations selected offer
the information that policy makers in charge of international aid want – and need - to get from field
evaluators.
