This Extended Country Program Evaluation (XCPE) marks the fifth independent evaluation, conducted by OVE, of the IDB Groups program in Paraguay.
This evaluation examines the design, implementation, and outcomes of operations approved under the IDBGs Country Program with Paraguay between 2014 and 2023. To conduct this evaluation, OVE analyzed documents and operational data from the IDB Group, consulted evidence from reliable national and international sources, conducted an evaluation mission to Paraguay, and carried out more than 110 interviews (both virtually and in person) with government authorities, project executing units, the private sector, officials from other development agencies, and IDB Group staff both in the Banks country office and headquarters.
