Independent Evaluations Sample Clauses
The Independent Evaluations clause establishes the requirement for assessments or reviews to be conducted by parties who are not directly involved in the subject matter being evaluated. Typically, this means that an external expert or third-party organization is engaged to provide an unbiased opinion or analysis, such as in the context of project milestones, compliance audits, or dispute resolution. The core function of this clause is to ensure objectivity and credibility in evaluations, thereby reducing conflicts of interest and enhancing trust in the results.
Independent Evaluations. EXCEPT FOR THE REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES EXPRESSLY MADE BY THE CONTRIBUTOR IN THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CERTIFICATE FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO THE PARTNERSHIP PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE PARTNERSHIP REPRESENTS AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) THERE ARE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, AS TO THE ASSETS OR PROSPECTS THEREOF, AND (B) THE PARTNERSHIP HAS NOT RELIED UPON ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION PROVIDED BY THE CONTRIBUTOR.
Independent Evaluations. Every Project must undergo a comprehensive, independent evaluation (impact and/or performance) in accordance with the MCC M&E Policy. The Evaluation Component of the M&E Plan will describe the purpose of the evaluation, methodology, timeline, required MCC approvals, and the process for collection and analysis of data for each evaluation. All independent evaluations must be designed and implemented by independent, third-party evaluators. If the Government wishes to engage an evaluator, the engagement will be subject to the prior written approval of MCC. Contract terms must be acceptable to MCC and ensure non- biased results and the publication of results. For each independent evaluation, MCA-Nepal is expected to review and provide feedback to independent evaluators on the evaluation design reports, evaluation materials (including questionnaires), baseline report (if applicable), and any interim/final reports in order to ensure proposed evaluation activities are feasible, and final evaluation products are technically and factually accurate.
Independent Evaluations. The Grantee may obtain an independent evaluation if provided for in the approved budget.

For each independent evaluation, MCA-Moçambique (or, after the Compact Term, such other entity of Mozambique designated to support post-program M&E activities) is expected to review and provide feedback to independent evaluators on the evaluation materials and reports in order to ensure proposed evaluation activities are feasible, and final evaluation products are technically and factually accurate. The results of all evaluations shall be made publicly available in accordance with the M&E Policy. The following evaluations are planned for the Program:
Question 1: Was the Project implemented according to plan (in terms of quantity and quality of outputs)? Question 2: Did the Project achieve its stated objective of reduced transport costs in Zambezia? Why or why not? • See indicator(s) associated with the objective statement in the indicator table below. The timeframe for measuring the achievement of the objective will be four years after the Compact concludes, which is expected to occur in 2030; results would therefore be measured in 2034 in such a scenario.

For each independent evaluation, MCA-Côte d’Ivoire is expected to review and provide feedback to independent evaluators on the evaluability assessment, evaluation design reports, evaluation materials (including questionnaires), baseline report (if applicable), and any interim/final reports in order to ensure proposed evaluation activities are feasible, and final evaluation products are technically and factually accurate.
Independent Evaluations. The Awardee may obtain an independent evaluation if provided for in the approved budget.
Independent Evaluations. The M&E Plan will include a description of the methods to be used for impact evaluations and plans for integrating the evaluation method into Project design. Based on in-country consultation with stakeholders, the strategies outlined below were jointly determined as having the strongest potential for rigorous impact evaluation. The M&E Plan will further outline in detail these methodologies. Comprehensive impact evaluation strategies are to be included in the M&E Plan. The following is a summary of the potential impact evaluation methodologies:
