Independent Evaluation of USDoL's Technical Cooperation Portfolio Promoting Workers' Right in Viet Nam

This report describes in detail the evaluation of the portfolio of USDOL-funded projects in Vietnam. The multi-project evaluation was conducted from September 14 to 30, 2015. Michele González Arroyo, independent evaluator, conducted the evaluation in collaboration with the project staff and stakeholders, and prepared the evaluation report according to the terms in the contract with the United States Department of Labor.

The purpose of this evaluation was to assess the overall systemic impact and effectiveness of USDOL’s international technical cooperation portfolio to promote workers’ rights in Vietnam. This included an assessment of stakeholders’ support and ownership of the projects and
activities; the value and utility of tools and interventions produced by the projects; and prospects for embedding or transferring knowledge and skills to local partners. Within this context, the evaluation addressed key issues related to the projects’ relevance, design, performance monitoring, progress and effectiveness, efficiency, management structures, and sustainability.
