Evaluation of the Environmental Governance Programme Phase 2, 2020-2023

PEMconsult was subcontracted to conduct an evaluation of Phase II of the Environmental Governance Programme, running from 2020-2023. The programme was funded by Sida and jointly implemented by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency and the UN Development Programme. The programme consists of two sub-programmes, one of which targets sustainable mining governance in 10 participating countries, while the second sub-programme supports the implementation of the UN Sustainability Strategy and therefore aims to promote sustainable practices within the UN. PEMconsult evaluated both subprogrammes, using a mixed-method approach including a survey, semi-structured interviews, a desk review, and more. Field visits were undertaken to Kenya and Zambia and while remote in-depth studies were done on Liberia and Colombia.
