7.2 Field Data Collection and Analysis

The Field data collection missions with support from local/national authorities and AfDB's IDEV staff will be undertaken for a purposive sample of infrastructure projects and will serve as an input to the project level assessment and to the proposed country case studies. The data collected from the various data sources will be analyzed based on the approved issues-indicator matrix and aggregate assessment.

During the field visit to the countries and projects, the evaluation team will evaluate Bank PPP interventions in greater detail and answer the evaluation questions at the country level (see Annex 10 of the volume 2 of the Inception report) through interviews with relevant counterparts, government officials, beneficiaries, investors, industry associations, civil society organizations, academia, and other suitable stakeholders, complemented by data gathering and site visits.

Interviews and possibly visits to other MDBs and Development agencies such as the World Bank, IFC, MIGA, EIB, EBRD, IaDB, AsDB and AFD, will be organized to help assist in the benchmarking exercise on PPP Institutional arrangements.
