About Pre Implementation Stage Evaluation (Ex-Ante Evaluation)

JICA conducts the ex-ante evaluation prior to project implementation to confirm the needs and priorities of the project as well as verify the outline of the project and anticipated outcomes. At the ex-ante evaluation stage, JICA also confirms implementations of appropriate safeguard procedures based on the review of environmental and social considerations, as well as reflections of lessons learned from past projects.

The results from the ex-ante evaluation conducted from this perspective are reflected in the subsequent decision-making regarding project design and project approach. Once the project commences, evaluations are conducted based on the evaluation plan and indicators set at the time of the ex-ante evaluation.
