EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
—
This part summarizes the most important sections that make up this annual evaluation report:
I. MONITORING OF EVALUATIONS:
During 2017, a total of 156 evaluations 
were completed, a slightly higher than in 
2016 (144). Out of these, 92 were carried 
out by the Decentralized Cooperation, 58 
by AECID, 5 by DGPOLDES Evaluation 
Division and 1 by other Ministries. In 
terms of funding, the Decentralized 
Cooperation funds the highest number 
of evaluations, and AECID is the actor 
which provides the highest total budget. 
Regarding evaluation management, 
NGDOs are the ones that manage the 
greatest number of evaluation.
As in previous years, the most 
evaluated geographical region 
was Central America, Mexico 
and the Caribbean, followed by 
the Andean countries and the 
Southern Corn, with Spain being 
the country with the highest 
number of evaluations. In 2017, 
the most evaluated sector 
are governance, followed by 
agriculture, forestry and fishing, 
and education.

The performance assessment of DGPOLDES Evaluation Division shows a satisfactory ove-
rall result. The number of centralized evaluations was gradually reduced in order to adjust to the 
real capacity of the unit. 57% of the planned evaluations for the 2017-2018 period were comple-
ted; the dissemination level of evaluations was maintained; both the evaluation experts database 
and the web visits considerably increased; and active participation in international evaluation 
networks was sustained, particularly in DAC Network on Development Evaluation.
AECID improved the implementation level of evaluations in relation to previous years. 
The number of operational evaluations was maintained and the number of evaluations of the 
Water and Sanitation Cooperation Fund increased. Several initiatives to establish a strategic fra-
mework for knowledge management were put in place.
II. MONITORING OF MANAGEMENT RESPONSES
The monitoring of management responses allowed to explore some elements related to the use 
of evaluations. In all centralised evaluations, managers of the evaluated intervention or strategy 
were requested to issue a management response. Although in two evaluations deadline is already 
missed, in most cases the average time for sending the management response decreased.
It should also be noted that a reasonable percentage of recommendations (69%) was implemen-
ted or in progress after one year since the approval of the commitment. In general, the system 
is still in the process of strengthening and a greater boost is required due to the arrival of new 
staff to the Spanish Cooperation policy planning and management departments.
