DFID’s Middle East and North Africa Hub (MENAH) is keen to understand effective modes of delivering technical assistance for poverty reduction and security, in the absence of financial aid; in an effort to promote the UK’s continued influence in the Middle East and North African (MENA) region. In March 2020, MENAH commissioned Konung International to provide an evidence map, as a first step in building this understanding. The ultimate objective of the evidence mapping exercise is to provide a catalogue of reliable, rigorous evidence that DFID and other UK Government Departments can draw on to inform future programming in the MENA region (throughout 20/21 and beyond). The evidence map and associated Narrative Report outline the results of the coding and subsequent mapping process; providing insight on the volume of identified sources that explore a variety of identified themes, interventions, outputs and outcomes of Technical Assistance interventions in the MENA region; in the absence of financial aid.
