§ Sir Alastair GoodladTo ask the Secretary of State for International Development how many copies of reports by her Department's Evaluating Department on Project Completion were requested by outside bodies in 1997–98. [39758]
§ Mr. FoulkesThe Evaluation Department very seldom receives external requests for individual Department for International Development Project Completion Reports, none of which is publicly available since, unlikeex post evaluation reports, they are not cleared with the recipient governments. But we do make publicly available our periodic synthesis analyses of the broad findings of the most recent batches of Project Completion Reports. In 1997–98 a total of 158 copies of our ex post evaluation reports were sent out in response to external requests.

Work from the previous programme due for completion and publication in 1998–99 includes the following:
Natural Resources Research: final Synthesis Study.Small Enterprise Development: final Synthesis Study.Police Projects: final Synthesis Study.Environment: country studies covering a range of projects in India, China, Brazil, Kenya and Tanzania; and final Synthesis Study.Poverty Reduction: country studies covering a range of projects in India, Uganda, Zambia, and Mozambique; and the final Synthesis Study.38Wof full retrospective impact evaluations in 1997–98; and when she will publish the results.
