Summary

Ce rapport présente les résultats de l’évaluation du soutien suédois au secteur statistique au Burkina Faso sur la période 2008-2017.Elle vise à mettre en évidence les principales réalisations, lacunes et défis clés avec pour objectif de contribuer au processus deplanification d’un éventuel soutien futur. L’évaluation conclut que la collaboration visait à renforcer les capacités, notamment entermes de méthodologie statistique, technologie de l’information et compétences en anglais. En outre, l’évaluation montre que le rôleinstitutionnel a été clarifié et renforcé, les statistiques des entreprises ont été améliorées et l’élaboration et la diffusion destatistiques sur les indicateurs liés au genre et à l’environnement ont contribué à une meilleure compréhension de ces défis par lesdécideurs au Burkina Faso. La collaboration a cependant été retardée à plusieurs reprises par des facteurs à la fois internes (manque de stratégie, faible coordination) et externes (manque de priorisation gouvernementale du secteur, manque de ressources, faible coordination entre les acteurs, effets de la transformation de l’administration publique, mouvements sociopolitiques et défissécuritaires).

Central Evaluation of Conflict Sensitivity in Sida’s Development and Humanitarian Cooperation

Topic: Democracy and human rights Economic development Peaceful societies Humanitarian assistance Gender equality Environment and climate

Purpose and use

This evaluation examines how Sida integrates conflict sensitivity across its strategies and operations, with the purpose of strengthening learning and improving how Sida’s work affects peace and conflict dynamics.

Conclusion

It finds that conflict sensitivity is increasingly embedded in Sida’s portfolio but applied unevenly across contexts. Stronger results emerge where analysis is continuous, partner capacity is high, and adaptation is proactive. Weak monitoring systems and inconsistent feedback loops limit learning and the ability to track outcomes or anticipate risks.

Recommendation

The evaluation recommends establishing minimum standards for conflict sensitivity across all strategies, ensuring regular context updates, strengthening monitoring, evaluation and learning systems with simple indicators, and proactively addressing recurring risks such as gender backlash, unequal targeting, and challenges linked to country exits.

Evaluation of “Expanding Space for Youth’s Political Participation” – GoFor

Topic: Democracy and human rights

Purpose and use

Evaluation of the Expanding Space for Youth Political Participation” project in Türkiye implemented by Gençlik Örgütleri Forumu (GoFor) focused on progress made on the project’s four objectives to:
1) Strengthen youth organisations;
2) Expand youth participation in decision-making;
3) Increase cooperation & networking in the youth sector; and
4) Develop GoFor as an institution.

Conclusion

Despite operating in a rapidly shrinking civic space, GoFor has given its member organisations a voice and safe spaces to express themselves, strengthening their capacity and its own. These voices are being heard at local and national levels within Türkiye, and internationally in European fora and at UN bodies. These are impressive achievements sorely needed to build youth-inclusive democratic processes in Türkiye.

Recommendation

Due to domestic funding challenges for rights-based Turkish CSOs and the weak capacity of many youth organisations, GoFor fills a gap by advocating for youth rights and participation. Given GoFor’s positive track record, Sida and other donors should seriously consider providing core funding as a bridging option while GoFor builds alternative sources of funding.
