This Final Evaluation Report provides ERAV and the World Bank with findings, ratings and recommendations based on desk review documents, interviews, site visits and several meetings with key stakeholders and the project implementation partners (EVN and PCs). The Evaluator presented the evaluation main findings to ERAV and PCs during the final TA DEP Evaluation Workshop held in Da Lat on June 3, 2016.
