Department background

• Spain's Evaluation Profile

The evaluation of Spanish development co-operation involves primarily the Directorate-General for Development Policy Planning and Evaluation of the State Secretariat for International Co-operation, Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation (DGPOLDE-MoFaC), the Department responsible for ensuring the coherence of planning, monitoring and evaluation in the co-operation policy.  Within DGPOLDE, the Division of Evaluation is charged with undertaking strategic, sector, thematic and country-level evaluations and conducts two to three per year.  The Spanish Co-operation Agency (AECID) is the main executing agency.  AECID's recently established Department of Programming and Quality of Aid is also assigned functions of quality and evaluation. There is no detailed information available on the other actos within the Spanish co-operation system.  This profile therefore focuses on the work of the Evaluation Division of the DGPOLDE.
