At NB Global Consulting, we provide comprehensive Project Evaluation services designed to support evidence-based decision-making for governments, development institutions, private sector stakeholders, and international donors. Our evaluation approach goes beyond traditional performance reviews to assess the strategic, financial, operational, and developmental impact of investments and initiatives across diverse sectors, including infrastructure, public-private partnerships, and sustainable development programs.
What Is Project Evaluation?
Project evaluation is a structured, evidence-driven process used to assess the performance, value, and outcomes of a project throughout its lifecycle. It answers fundamental questions such as:
- Is the project aligned with strategic and beneficiary needs?
- Was it implemented efficiently and effectively?
- What sustainable outcomes has it delivered?
- What lessons can inform future investments?
NB Global Consulting’s evaluations are grounded in the OECD DAC evaluation criteria, a globally recognized standard used by major development agencies and donors:
- Relevance: Are the project’s objectives aligned with stakeholder needs, national priorities, and contextual dynamics?
- Coherence: How well does the project complement other interventions and policies?
- Effectiveness: To what extent have intended results been achieved?
- Efficiency: Were results delivered in a timely and cost-effective manner?
- Impact: What broader, long-term changes have been triggered by the intervention?
- Sustainability: Will the project’s benefits endure after external support ends?
