This evaluation of the 2012-2015 agreement between the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and UN-Habitat was welcomed by the donor for providing an assessment of results achieved and performance of 19 UN-Habitat projects supported through the agreement. The majority, about 74 per cent of the Sida funded projects were rated with ‘highly satisfactory’ or ‘satisfactory’ performance. Projects that paid attention to internal collaboration and monitoring effectiveness were found to be generally more successful than those that did not.
