| Summary: |
As part of the DRG Assessment process, USAID commissions an independent expert on the democratic transition in the
subject country or region to undertake a peer review of the Final Report. The purpose of the peer review is to provide an external commentary on how well the DRG Assessment captures the essential political dynamics of the subject country and the soundness of its analysis and recommendations. The review offers an expert opinion on the overall quality of the report; it identifies any
innovative findings that may have emerged in the up-to-date DRG Assessment; it points out any key gaps in the analysis as well as noting differences of political interpretation; it evaluates the extent to which the recommendations are logically derived from the analysis; and provides an occasion for the reviewer to comment on the overall appropriateness of USAID’s DRG methodology for elaborating a DRG strategic approach that is rooted in a clear and compelling understanding of a country’s political dynamic
