Citizens Against Corruption (CAC) is a grant management programme implemented by Public Affairs Centre (PAC) and Partnership for Transparency Fund (PTF). PTF, which was originally funded by DFID's Governance and Transparency Fund (GTF), aimed to support initiatives by CSOs in South Asia that stimulate, capacitate and facilitate citizens to fight against corruption. On request of PTF, a Project Completion Assessment (PCA) was undertaken by PRIA in three different phases to assess the project performance and results subsequent to the closure of the projects.
Objectives
The objectives of the independent Project Completion Assessment were to assess:
- the degree to which the project achieved, or was likely to achieve, all or most of its objectives;
- the implementation performance and contributions of the activities and outputs to the planned results; and
- the results achieved and disseminated.
