For the lending part, the evaluation will cover 32 operations. These operations include infrastructure projects in the transport and energy sectors. As to the non-lending and institutional support part, the evaluation will cover 21 operations, of which 18 are ISPs and three (3) are Technical Assistance (TAs) projects under the Fund for African Private Sector Assistance (FAPA). These include institutional support operations and TA projects that promote good governance in RMCs, and build RMCs' capacity to improve their respective PPP policies, business enabling environment, and private sector development.
