Switzerland’s State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO) provides financial and technical assistance in the energy and water sectors. The goal of SECO intervention in the energy sector is to contribute to economic development by ensuring the supply of reliable and financially sustainable energy. SECO wanted to conduct an independent evaluation of energy sector interventions in 17 Eastern Europe and Central Asia countries.  SECO requested that the evaluation give special focus to the interventions in Albania, Kyrgyzstan, Romania, and Serbia. The evaluation would assess the effectiveness of SECO’s assistance by determining how project outputs, outcomes, and impacts aligned with SECO’s strategy for each country.
