March 2004 - The WSP International Advisory Council commissioned this mid-term evaluation in 2003. This mid-term evaluation examines six broad questions: Is WSP International achieving its original objectives? What is WSP International's niche of excellence? What is the relevance of WSP International to its stakeholders? What is the impact of WSP International's work? What is the mid-term assessment regarding the institutional development of WSP international? Is there any reorientation necessary?
The evaluation team reviewed WSP International's documents and conducted individual and focus group interviews with a wide range of stakeholders.
