Evaluation of the Multi-Donor Trust Fund in Sudan

This document describes a summary of the evaluation of the World Bank Administered Multi-Donor Trust Fund in Sudan, which was established with the goal of supporting peace and pro-poor growth through various development projects. The evaluation, conducted by ICF GHK and other methodologies, assessed the fund's alignment with development needs, impact, cost-effectiveness, and institutional relevance. While the fund made progress in areas like education and capacity building, it faced challenges such as conflict, administrative issues, and sustainability concerns. The evaluation concluded that the projects generally met their objectives with positive impacts, but success varied and improvements were needed in oversight and conflict impact assessment. Recommendations included continued World Bank engagement, donor support, and leveraging existing structures for better outcomes. The evaluation process involved extensive stakeholder consultation and produced a detailed final report with lessons learned and recommendations for future development efforts in Sudan. **This summary was written by an AI model and therefore should not be considered a definitive summary of the report.
