| Abstract:
The evaluation unit of the German development cooperation has applied an ex-ante evaluation of the new program 'Skills Development for Climate and Environmental Business - Green Jobs' in South Africa as a new instrument within its evaluation system. The objectives of this evaluation which has been carried out by an independent institute in close cooperation with the appraisal mission were: provide information regarding the needs structure of the involved stakeholders of the program (needs analysis), conceptualize the design of the program by establishing a results framework and developing the results chain (conceptual design), assess the effectiveness of the program and the sustainability of its impacts (impact assessment), document the current situation in the impact fields of the program (baseline) and develop a framework for continuous results monitoring (M&E concept). The presentation will discuss the experiences in applying the different tasks and the added value of the instrument regarding the better planning of a programme.

| Abstract:
In the case of Extractive Industries(EI) projects, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives focused on community development are fundamental for getting and keeping the social license to operate. This paper presents evidence regarding social license aspects of EI projects, based on recent evaluations of four private sector projects that are broadly representative of the portfolio, by the Independent Evaluation Group, International Finance Corporation (IEG-IFC). The four projects are: Kupol Gold (Russia 2010), Marlin Gold (Guatemala 2009), Chad Cameroon Pipeline (Chad Cameroon 2009), Cairn Energy (India 2009), with the first two being gold mining projects and the last two, oil development projects. In all four projects, IFC provided technical assistance(Advisory Services) grants to project communities that ultimately enhanced IFC's reach and development impact.
