The evaluation serves the dual objectives of accountability and learning. It enabled the Yemen country office to make informed strategic decisions for its next country strategy and to improve ongoing operations. The evaluation has focused on three main questions: 1. the strategic alignment of the country portfolio with the needs of people in Yemen, with the policies and priorities of the Government of Yemen and with those of other multilateral and bilateral agencies and donors, 2. the key factors behind the strategic choices made during the portfolio period, and 3. the performance and results of the portfolio.
