DW Akademie's media development projects are geared towards long-term change. To this end, our projects funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the European Union (EU) and other donors are regularly evaluated by external experts and in accordance with current evaluation norms and standards that ensure quality and independence.
The evaluations apply the evaluation criteria laid down by the OECD's development assistance committee (DAC), namely relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability. In a complementary manner, we also apply innovative methods in project evaluations, such as management and leadership assessments, adaptive capacity assessments and impact studies.
The aggregate impact of all our projects is also regularly measured and special publications highlight the most significant changes that DW Akademie has managed to achieve.
This page provides more information about the evaluations of our country projects (by region) and overarching projects since 2016, as well as related publications.
