### Overview and scope
- Evaluation period: April 1, 2010 to September 30, 2012.
- Project duration: EDDI is a five-year project (April 2010–March 2015).
- Geographic coverage: 25 African countries.

  - government finance statistics (GFS)
  - balance of payments statistics (BOP)

### Purpose of the mid-term evaluation
- Rationale: The mid-point of a five-year project is an appropriate time for all stakeholders to:
  - take stock of accomplishments in the first half of the project,
  - identify what has gone well,
  - identify aspects that have been disappointing,
  - consider adjustments to make the remainder of the project more effective in achieving its objectives.
- Administration: The evaluation was conducted internally by the IMF in consultation with DFID (United Kingdom’s Department for International Development), which financed EDDI for the covered period.

### Methodology for stakeholder feedback
- Questionnaires were developed to obtain feedback from three groups:
  - counterparts in participating countries
  - IMF module managers and experts
  - DFID country and regional advisors
