This article aims to evaluate PAANEEAC (Projet d'appui au développement des associations nationales pour l'évaluation environnementale en Afrique Centrale), the program to support the development of national associations (NAs) for environmental impact assessment (EIA) in Central Africa. PAANEEAC's objective is to improve the governance of investment decisions through strengthening capacities for EIA. From the literature explaining the failure of donor-induced capacity development programs, the article deduces conditions for success. The empirical assessment of PAANEEAC is based on document review, extensive interviews, and observations. It concludes that PAANEEAC managed to create platforms in which stakeholders meet with the common objective of improving EIA systems, and that this led to measurable, albeit modest improvements in EIA systems. Furthermore, PAANEEAC met most of the success conditions, which was instrumental for its performance.
本文旨在评估中非环境评估国家协会发展支持项目（PAANEEAC），该项目旨在支持中部非洲国家环境影响评估协会（NAs）的发展。PAANEEAC的目标是通过加强环境影响评估能力来改善投资决策治理。本文从解释捐助方主导的能力发展项目失败原因的文献中推导出成功的条件。对PAANEEAC的实证评估基于文件审查、广泛访谈和观察。研究得出结论，PAANEEAC成功创建了利益相关者为改善环境影响评估系统这一共同目标而会面的平台，这使得环境影响评估系统虽有小幅改善但仍有可衡量的提升。此外，PAANEEAC满足了大部分成功条件，这对其表现起到了推动作用。
