Policy and Operations Evaluation Department (IOB) Evaluation - With this evaluation the IOB aims to provide insights into the support of the NIMD and its success in strenghtening multiparty systems in developing countries. The research for the NIMD evaluation began by examining the processes and results at the level of the partners of NIMD, and then assessed these findings against NIMD's theory of change. The Evaluation is based on case studies of NIMD's work in Guatemala, Kenya and Mali and an institutional evaluation of NIMD itself.
