The main goal of the evaluation was to clearly understand Energy Sector Policy and Strategy performance during the 2015-2020 period by answering four overarching questions:

• To what extent did the ESPS contribute to policy and regulatory improvements in the regional and national energy sectors?
• To what extent did CDB position itself as a key energy sector development partner in BMCs?
• To what extent did CDB make appropriate internal institutional adaptations to deliver on the commitments of the ESPS?
• To what extent did the portfolio of investment projects and technical assistance (TA) inspired by the ESPS achieve their desired results?
