The evaluation, conducted between February 2013
and February 2015, adopted a mixed-methods
approach. It covered the period since the previous
joint evaluation to July 2014. It included 12 country
studies encompassing extensive interviews, field
visits to grant project sites and documentation
review; a global online survey gathering responses
from 124 countries; a meta-analysis of 50 evaluations
referring to the SGP; an in-depth review of a sample
of 30 SGP country program strategy documents; a
portfolio review of detailed financial data; and interviews
with central-level SGP stakeholders.
