Corporate-Level Evaluations
An efficient and well-functioning project cycle is a critical determinant of NDB’s development impact and lies at the core of NDB operations. The “project cycle” means all the stages in the life of a project – from conception of the idea, to Board approval, through to implementation and closure.
The Corporate-Level Evaluations (CLE) will seek to assess, amongst other things, whether the current project cycle enables enhanced development results and impact from NDB operations; and the evaluation team will then formulate recommendations to improve the cycle.
The final report is expected to be presented to the Board in Q1 2025.
The Approach Paper specifying the evaluation objectives, methodology, process, timelines, and key questions is available at the below link.

Country Portfolio Evaluation
The Independent Evaluation Office is conducting its first-ever Country Portfolio Evaluation (CPE) in 2024. The country selected for the CPE is India, in light of its substantial project portfolio financed by the New Development Bank (NDB). By the end of 2023, NDB had approved a total of 26 projects in India. These projects cover a variety of sectors, with 14 targeting improvements in road infrastructure, connectivity and urban mobility, while seven aim to bolster water and sanitation systems. Additionally, NDB has approved five projects covering clean energy, energy efficiency, COVID-19 emergency assistance, and multi-dimensional initiatives.
The primary aim of the CPE is to assess the overarching partnership between NDB and India in fostering economic and social development. The assessment period covers activities from 2015 to the end of 2023. All projects approved within this time frame will be assessed as part of the CPE.
