The focus of this evaluation is on assessing the CapEFA programme’s relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, and sustainability. This evaluation does not focus on how the programme impacts on the EFA goals, due to the challenge in assessing the causality between the programme’s goals and the EFA indicators. The focus of the assessment is on whether the right conditions at the systemic and institutional levels are created to have an impact on these EFA macro-indicators.
