Evaluations measure the performance of development cooperation projects, find ways to improve, and ultimately, contribute to the advancement of the accountability of projects. Through an objective and scientific evidence-based evaluation, KOICA draws outcome of the projects and reflects them when implementing further projects, thus improving the performance management and implementation system. Moreover, along with the five evaluation criteria of OECD/DAC-relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and impact, cross-cutting issues such as human rights, gender mainstreaming, environment, are also the criteria for evaluation. This helps the comprehensive assessment of the potential and the effect of the projects' contribution to social values.
