The Supporting Indian Trade and Investment for Africa (SITA) is the UK Department for International Development’s first South-South aid for trade (AfT) and value-chain programme. The purpose of SITA is to harness Indian resources (knowledge, technology, capital) to increase higher value-added exports from selected African countries to the Indian market and also third markets. Selected programme countries included Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Rwanda.
International Economics, in consortium with Oxford Policy Management, conducted an evaluation of SITA to estimate SITA’s contribution to programme outcomes, and determine its overall impact. The evaluation also had a learning objective.
