Mid-Term Review of the Water and Development Partnership Programme - phase 3 (WDPP3)

This evaluation concludes that WDPP3 represents a coherent, strategically relevant and institutionally robust knowledge partnership model within Dutch international water cooperation. Its distinctive strength lies in Southern-led, inclusive knowledge co-production and relational capacity strengthening across a diverse multi-actor network of academic, public, civil society and practitioner partners.

The Mid-Term Review covers the period August 2021 - 1 December 2025. WDPP is strong on relevance, efficiency and institutional arrangements. Coherence, effectiveness and sustainability are good with some room for improvement. The results of the Mid-Term Review will be used for slight improvements of the program and possible follow-up funding.
