This is the first Assessment of Development Results (ADR) to be carried by the Independent Evaluation Office of UNDP for Zimbabwe. It was conducted in 2014 with a view to contributing to the enhancement of the ongoing country programme, consistent with the UN Development Assistance Framework for Zimbabwe (ZUNDAF), the UNDP Strategic Plan, and relevant national development plans, including the Zimbabwe Agenda for Sustainable Socio-Economic Transformation (ZimAsset). The ADR is designed to contribute to the preparation of the new UNDP country programme, scheduled to begin in 2016.
