In 2011 SIDA commissioned an Evaluation Pre-Study on Parliamentary Development Assistance (PDA) from the Overseas Development Institute (ODI) to review the state of knowledge on donor approaches and their effectiveness since 2005, identify lessons learnt and key gaps in knowledge, and assess the need for a multistakeholder thematic evaluation. This Report Brief highlights the key findings and conclusions from the Pre-Study Report, as well as recommendations on possible next steps. More in-depth analysis and detailed references can be found in the full report which is available at:
