Studies & evaluations
Context carries out evaluations and studies, on its own or in cooperation with others, on various subjects within the areas of development cooperation and public sector services.
An evaluation is a process where the involvement of the client and the target group is important. This ensures learning as an integrated component in the evaluation process and strengthens the process when recommendations are put into practice.
Below you find a selection of reports from Context, sorted under sector headings. Some are available in full as PDF documents.
