As worldwide operating evaluators, we are committed to supporting initiatives in pursuit of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while recognising the complexity of these programmes that demand collaborative efforts to align diverse interests in constantly changing environments.
These efforts, whether in the form of policies, programmes, or partnerships, require reflection and adaptation. This is why, over the past decades, we have specialised in shaping complex-aware, effective, and attractive evaluation processes. In our evaluations, we help clients gain sound insights into what is working well, what isn't, and why. This creates practical opportunities for demonstrating performance and learning for improvement.
At MDF, we understand the variety in projects, programmes, policies, partnerships – and each has its unique start, journey, and goals. We perform evaluations at different stages of programme implementation, considering the diverse learning and accountability needs, and we have specialised in the following types of evaluations:
To assess the design, implementation and outcome of a programme and/or project at national, regional or international level.
To review a donor, governmental, sectorial or international organisation policy and determine whether adjustments are needed in the policy design or resources allocation.
To assess and analyse the effectiveness and performance of a business or organisation’s strategic plan and its associated objectives and goals. We look at the strategic management process and help in determining whether the chosen strategies are working as intended or need adjustments.
To examine the functioning of a partnership, network or alliance and determine whether all necessary elements, such as the steering structure, processes, coordination and collaboration are properly in place, as well as ensuring that these are adequately maintained.
To assess and analyse a collection of related projects, programs, or initiatives undertaken by an organization, or by a set of different organisations working for a specific fund.

We are impressed with MDF's report, analyses and recommendations. It was especially pleasing to see the consistency of the SWOT analysis, the merging of trends, the findings (from various actors, internal and external) and the crystallization of recommendations. This evaluation clearly stands out in terms of methodology, quality, depth and consistency.
