IMO Ambassador Scheme Evaluation (2019)
websitebuilder-hub • Dec 31, 2021
OpenCities was asked to carry out an independent evaluation of the IMO's ambassador scheme, the International Maritime Organisation Goodwill Maritime Ambassador (IMO-GMA) Scheme, and produce a report.
OpenCities carried out a document review to help refine the objectives of the evaluation as well as design survey and interview questions.
A survey with a mix of open and close ended questions was then sent out to 150 IMO-GMAs and other permanent representatives. Responses were analysed and charts created to show the trends and distributions of answers and allow comparisons between IMO-GMA responses and non-ambassador responses.
OpenCities also carried out seven bilateral interviews with IMO-GMAs. These detailed, qualitative interviews allowed for the collection of more detailed perspectives on the functioning of the scheme and a richer understanding of the experience of IMO-GMAs, thus providing an important input into the recommendation of the report.

CPFs help to ensure that the World Bank's country driven model is systematic, evidence-based, selective, and focused on ending extreme poverty and increasing shared prosperity in a sustainable manner. CPFs lay out the main country development goals that WBG aims to help the country achieve, and propose a selective program of indicative WBG interventions for this purpose. More specific CPF objectives are derived from these country development goals. These are then used to monitor the program during the CPF cycle and evaluate it at the end. Performance and Learning Reviews (PLRs) are prepared mid-way through the CPF cycle. PLRs identify and capture lessons, and determine midcourse corrections in the CPF objectives and program of interventions.
The goal of GRP is to help communities in the Sahel, Horn of Africa, South Asia and South East Asia to better adapt to climatic shocks and thrive in a more resilient future. GRP brokers partnerships and investment opportunities between private, public and not-for-profit bodies around the globe and local communities in vulnerable communities.
