The objective of this evaluation was to evaluate Danish International Development Assistance (Danida) in and around Somalia over the period 2006-10, focusing on relevance, effectiveness, and organisational efficiency questions, with a view to generating lessons and making recommendations for future engagement. Evidence was gathered through documentation review, individual and group interviews with key stakeholders, and field visits to five Danida-funded interventions in Puntland, North-East Kenya, and Somaliland. The main limit to this evaluation was the lack of field visit to South and Central Somalia (SCS), owing to insecurity.
