Report – Evaluation of the 2005 debt relief agreement between the Paris Club and Nigeria

This is the main report of the joint evaluation of the debt relief agreement concluded by the Paris Club and Nigeria in 2005. In 2009, the Special Evaluation Office of International Cooperation of the Belgian Federal Public Service Foreign Affairs, Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation and the Policy and Operations Evaluation Department of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs started making preparations for the evaluation. Though their invitation to other members of the DAC Network on Development Evaluation to join them met with considerable interest from potential participants, for various reasons none of them took an active part. After an international call for tenders in early 2010, the contract for the evaluation was awarded to a consortium comprising Ecorys Nederland BV and Oxford Policy Management.
