Abstract

The MCC commissioned this ex post evaluation to provide an objective and rigorous assessment of the effectiveness and efficacy of ZTP activities. The evaluation team was asked to focus on whether activities were fully executed and resulted in intended, or unintended, outcomes; whether those results have proved sustainable; and to identify lessons learned. Data collection methodologies included key informant interviews, document review, and small-scale survey work.

Sampling

Sampling Procedure

Baseline Survey: Face-to-Face interviews of recent clients identified from lists provided by the agency.

Evaluation Survey: Randomly selected through an exit survey at each of the relevant customer service centers; CACP interviews were from a list provided by ZRA.

Deviations from the Sample Design

The survey instruments and contact information of the surveyed firms was not included in the final report, making it impossible to conduct follow-up evaluations using the same methodology. For these reasons, it was not possible to replicate the baseline instrument for use in the evaluation, although questions were included on similar topics including time to receive completed certifications, perceptions relating to corruption, etc.
