Between 2006 and 2010 we have conducted these 8 evaluations of GPPs, and we should add the one we are presently evaluating, that is CGAP GDPRD (2007) ADEA ( 2005 and 2010) WSP ( ILC (2006) infoDev ( GRSF (2008) Cities Alliance (2008) Range of sectors: education road safety; water and sanitation; urban development; agriculture, access to land, Cycles: WSP was created in 1978, GFDisaster Reduction and Recovery was created in 2005 Different memberships
Scope and focus: increased demands from Members to expand the scope rather than focusing the questions - Program maturity influences evaluation purpose, scope and methodology Program in early stages (2-3 years) should assess the appropriateness of program design and review givernance and programme arrangements, clarity of objectives, etc. Established program: shoudl address inputs, program of activities and outputs Mature programs: should look at outputs and outcomes as well as sustainability Relevance of objectives : can be assessed against the existence of international consensus for the program (demand driven) alignemnt with beneficiary needs (supply side); subsidiary principle (vertical relevance) and absence of laternative (horizontal relevance) Relevance of design : appropriateness of strategies and priorities of the program for achieving the objectives of the program.
Less attention paid to efficiency of GRPP than development assistance Efficiency is the extent to which the program has converted its resoruces inputs economically into results in order to achieve the maximum possible outputs and outcomes Cost effectiveness is the extent to which the program has achieved its results at a lower costs compared with alternative

As public problems have become more and more complex, there has been a realization that individual government agencies, working alone, can no longer handle these &quot;wicked issues.&quot; Instead, there has been a growing emphasis on replacing categorical or program-based funding arrangements with more integrated efforts. These efforts have been the focus of recent work on collaborative endeavors involving a variety of network arrangements. The difficulty has been that although these types of collaborative efforts are increasing in number, a related growing concern is whether such arrangements have been any more effective than those involving single-agency efforts. As a result, interest has increased in evaluating these types of efforts. However, the evaluation measures used are those that apply to individual organizations, rather than network arrangements that often include not only representatives of public sector organizations but also representatives of nonprofit and private organizations as well as individuals and groups representing community interests. New ways are needed of evaluating performance in these network arrangements.
Team literature has focused on such variables as cohesiveness, size leadership, motivation and group goals. In recent years, composition has become a central concern, particularly regarding diversity. HOW DOES DIVERSITY affect team functioning, along such dimensions as cooperaiton, creativity, cohesiveness, and decision-making? What type of diversity matters? Do different types of diversity (demographic, functional, cultural, national, etc.) have different impacts on team functioning?
Social Capital : how a set of relationship amongst individuals or groups make these individuals or groups more productive or better performing. So, as such, rarely are we asked if as a results of being a member the actual members are more performing Does the existence of the netowrk facilitate social exchange on the given issue, greater knowledge mangement?
