2002

India Assessment of Development Results (ADR) covers the period of the first Country Cooperative Framework from 1997 to 2002. The evaluation found that UNDP India, along with its development partners within the government and the voluntary sector, has brought about a profound change in the character of its interventions, from building institutions to developing community-based, people-centred programmes. UNDP has been successful in achieving people’s participation in the process and developed strong partnerships with the relevant development actors and stakeholders, including civil society groups and women’s groups. There has been a significant qualitative improvement in the management and monitoring of programmes, however, the evaluation noted the number of programmes and projects in the country tends to be too numerous and diffuse. It further highlighted that replication and sustainability strategies were not developed sufficiently and agreed to with partners and stakeholders early enough in the design and implementation.
