Abstract

A primary conclusion of this evaluation is that African Economic Research Consortium (AERC) should continue its present roles and activities as they are strongly founded and there is evidence of high value and need. The intent of this evaluation was to analyze AERC’s responsiveness to an evolving policy setting, its ability to retain focus and to strike a balance between research initiatives and continued capacity building functions, and its contribution to the capacity of African countries to design and implement their respective approaches to development. This is a detailed report of activities, performance and outputs.
