The purpose of this evaluation is to assess the implementation of IDDA III and the extent to which its expected results have been achieved. While building on the findings and recommendations of the MTR, the evaluation aims to generate findings, draw lessons, and provide a set of useful recommendations that could be used to inform the development of a potential successor initiative. \nThe evaluation will focus on the overall IDDA III initiative and will cover the period from\n2016 to 2024. Given the timeframe and other logistical constraints, the evaluation will not\nassess the performance of individual IDDA III projects or programmes, but focus on strategic aspects including achievement of stated objectives, stakeholder efforts and initiatives in support of Africa’s industrialization, and challenges encountered in the implementation of IDDA III.

Project: 150052
This GEF-funded (full-sized) project is being implemented by UNIDO in Sialkot, Pakistan. The project started in March\n2017 in partnership with the Sialkot Tannery Association Guarantee Ltd (STAGL) as the lead National Executing Partner (NEP) and the Ministry of Climate Change (MoCC) functioning as an\nExecuting Partner. The project aims to support the baseline project, initiated under STAGL with the support of the Government of Punjab, involving the establishment, maintenance and operationalization of the Sialkot Tannery Zone (STZ). The STZ is a multimillion dollar project which aims to relocate Sialkot’s 250 tanneries, scattered in clusters across the city, to a dedicated tannery zone 13 km outside the city near the village of Khumbranwala. The GEF-funded project\nwill be supporting the baseline project by integrating climate change adaptation (CCA) measures and strategies into the environmentally sound construction of the STZ and urban development planning, supporting the construction and operationalization of a combined effluent treatment plant (CETP) for the tanneries which will relocate to the STZ, and through awareness-raising, sensitizing, and capacity-building activities to build climate change resilience among various project stakeholders.\nThe purpose of the evaluation is to independently assess the project to help UNIDO improve the performance and results of ongoing and future programmes and projects. The TE will cover the whole duration of the project from its starting date to the estimated completion date in March 2024.

To address the low economic inclusion of women and youth, in November 2016, the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Supply (MITS) of Jordan requested UNIDO’s support to increase the country’s small and medium-sized enterprises’ competitiveness in order to boost job creation, particularly for youth and women. Previously, in July 2016, the MITS had requested UNIDO’s technical assistance to build Jordan’s institutional capacities in terms of Strategic Industrial Intelligence. In agreement with the MITS and considering their complementarity, both requests were integrated into the project that will be assessed under these evaluation terms of reference.
