Outcomes 4.1 and 4.2 joint office contribution analysis
Annex 6 shows that most outcome indicators have achieved expected results one year before the end of the cycle, including: (i) national and local government programmes elaborated and implemented with a results-based management approach; (ii) gender-sensitive local and national budgets; (iii) women elected to Parliament and local government; (iv) participation mechanisms in place for the identification of priorities or public policies at national and local levels; (v) resource mobilization and partnership development mechanisms in place; (vi) CSOs participating in the formulation and monitoring of development plans, budgets and public policies; and (vii) free legal support is available for court cases.
The analysis focused on the democratic governance outcome and the direction of change, as final impacts cannot be assessed in the timeframe of this evaluation. As such, it was necessary to formulate a theoretical model for the outcome strategy (see summary below and complete ToC reconstruction in Annex 7). This CCP component aimed to progressively build democratic governance in Cabo Verde, evolved around three interconnected approaches conceptualized as projects by the joint office: (i) building capacity for PEDS implementation and achieving the SDGs; (ii) advancing gender equality for the SDGs in Cabo Verde; and (iii) Improving a human rights-based justice system for SDG achievement. According to Atlas, subnational capacity and service delivery is considered in the ‘Decentralization’ project under Outcome 3.
