This Independent Evaluation report presents an assessment of UNIDO activities in South Africa since the country joined UNIDO in 2000, with particular attention to four projects or project groups (Industrial Energy Efficiency, Subcontracting and Partnership Exchange, Automotive Supplier Development, and Establishment of the National Cleaner Production Centre) that account for approximately 90 % of the total budget and expenditures of UNIDO’s portfolio in the country. The evaluation also addresses the functioning of the UNIDO Regional Office (URO) in Pretoria and its influence in UNIDO activities in the country, the strategic positioning of UNIDO, and its participation in the activities of the UN system in South Africa. The main objective of the evaluation has been to assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability of UNIDO projects, in order to make recommendations that help improve the design and implementation of UNIDO’s technical cooperation.
