The CSOs and Policy Dialogue Consortium Project, coordinated by horizont3000 and funded by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA), was launched in 2014 to strengthen the capacity of East African civil society organisations (CSOs) to engage in policy dialogue promoting justice and equity for marginalised populations. The project, implemented by a consortium of Austrian NGOs (Caritas, CARE, horizont3000, SOS Children’s Village) support CSOs in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania through training, small action funds, and experience-sharing initiatives.
PEM was selected to conduct a review of the project across four phases across in Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania. The review combined desk research and qualitative data collection, online and in person, with partner organisations and stakeholders, focusing on effectiveness, sustainability, and transferability, as well as the functioning of the Community of Practice.

PEMconsult East Africa was contracted by Afrikan Image to undertake a monitoring and process evaluation of the Communication in Rural Business Component of an IFAD funded Rural Micro, Small and Medium Enterprise Support Programme (MUVI). MUVI was implemented by the Tanzania Small Industries Development Organisation (SIDO) to empower rural entrepreneurs, micro, small and medium scale farmers and businesses, with agro-processing and farming methods, and to offer opportunities for the rural entrepreneurs to access information on markets and market prices, loans and credit schemes, among others, in order to improve quality of their products, expand their businesses and increase yield. The overall objective was to reduce rural income poverty and to improve livelihoods of the poorest groups. The programme was piloted with five value chains: dairy products, cassava, citrus fruits, oranges and pineapples, sunflower, and tomatoes.

The Pacific Private Sector Development Initiative (PSDI) co-financed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Government of Australia, and the Government of New Zealand, has been supporting 14 Pacific Developing Member Countries (DMCs) since 2006. It is a long-running regional technical assistance facility, which focuses on creating an enabling environment for inclusive, private sector-led economic growth by providing technical assistance and policy reform support. Its efforts aim to strengthen the business environment and promote sustainable, gender-responsive development across the region.
PEM was selected to conduct the end-of-program evaluation for PSDI Phase IV. The evaluation assessed the programme’s relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact, sustainability, coherence, and its outcomes in gender, and climate change integration. The evaluation also provided actionable recommendations with a focus on expanding inclusion, climate resilience, private sector engagement, and investment facilitation in Phase V.
