Terminal Evaluation of the IKI grant “Advancing and Measuring Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) for a Low-Carbon Economy in Middle-Income and Newly Industrialized Countries” (which contributed to the UNEP project “Strengthening Consumer Information for Sustainable Consumption and Production” - PIMS ID 2011) (2016 – 2022)

Evaluation Office of UNEP (2024-03)

This report is a Terminal Evaluation of the IKI grant on “Advancing and Measuring Sustainable Consumption and Production (SCP) for a Low-Carbon Economy in Middle-Income and Newly Industrialized Countries”, implemented between 2016 and 2022. The grant's overall development goal was to reduce greenhouse gas emissions through the adoption of sustainable consumption and production policies, tools, and practices in participating countries, enabled by improved access by consumers and policymakers to information on sustainable products and services, and by targeted technical assistance to policymakers and businesses. The evaluation sought to assess the grant’s performance (in terms of relevance, effectiveness, and efficiency) and determine outcomes and impacts (actual and potential) stemming from the grant activities, including their sustainability. The evaluation had two primary purposes: (i) to provide evidence of results to meet accountability requirements, and (ii) to promote learning, feedback, and knowledge sharing through results and lessons learned among UNEP, and the relevant agencies of participating countries.
