Mobilising European Research for Development Policies - Research Workshop on the third European Report on Development on "Effective natural resource management for inclusive and sustainable growth".
The purpose of this session was to showcase and discuss some of the recent research work that has been carried out on budget support. The meeting touched on the current OECD/DAC sponsored budget support evaluations that are taking place in Mali, Tunisia, and Zambia. It will cover issues related to new evaluation methodologies, policy implications – responding to emerging or familiar unresolved questions such as the role of conditionality and the right objectives of budget support - and outstanding evidence gaps.
