Special Evaluation Study on Project Performance and the Project Cycle: Identifying Key Points of Intervention to Improve Project Quality

Investment projects and programs are among the main products of ADB and continuous efforts to improve their quality are necessary. The Special Evaluation Study will focus on the mechanics of ensuring quality at entry under current business practices. It will provide a window on (i) factors that limit the effectiveness of ADB's project preparatory technical assistance supervision and loan processing system, (ii) the efficacy of business practices in screening proposals and incorporating the lessons of experience in these, and (iii) simple measures that can be taken to raise the effectiveness and efficiency of staff responsible for quality at entry. The SES will be conducted through research at ADB headquarters and field studies in selected ADB Resident Missions and developing member countries.

Note: This study was formerly titled Special Evaluation Study on Linking Quality at Entry and the Project Cycle.
