Year: 2021 | Topic: Capacity building
The Business Partnership Facility (BPF) grants financial support to companies contributing to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in developing countries. BPF is financed by the DGD to stimulate private sector involvement in achieving the SDGs in developing countries. The operational management of the BPF is entrusted to the King Baudouin Foundation.
A mid-term evaluation was commissioned in 2021 with the following main goals:
o to answer the question: Is the BPF the right tool to foster the development of the Micro-, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) allowing private sector involvement in achieving the SDGs?
o to make recommendations to improve the management of the programme
o to improve the BPF to get a bigger impact on development and on the realisation of the SGDs
The evaluation was built up from case-based evidence in 5 projects complemented with evidence gathered at KBF / BPF portfolio level (through interviews and document study), a cross-sectional assessment (desk study) of 16 approved projects and e-surveys of (1) preselected and approved project stakeholders and (2) preselected projects that eventually were not assigned a grant.
