Department background

Sida uses evaluations as a tool for management and learning. Providing information about the results of Swedish development co-operation to the general public and its elected representatives, evaluation also serves the purpose of accountability.

Evaluations of development assistance through Sida are carried out by the Secretariat for Evaluation and Internal Audit (UTV) as well as by the sector and regional departments. While the operative departments commission evaluations within their respective areas of responsibility, UTV takes a broader view, focusing on thematic and strategic evaluations of wider relevance. Evaluations are most often carried out using interdisciplinary teams of external experts.

Sida's evaluation reports are published in the series "Sida Evaluations". Studies concerned with conceptual and methodological issues are published in "Sida Studies in Evaluation". Sida also has a newsletter, "Sida Evaluation Newsletter", including summaries of selected reports from the two series.
