External Evaluation of the UTZ Tea Program in Sri Lanka

The UTZ tea program in Sri Lanka first began in 2011, implemented by the Institute of Social Development with the support of Solidaridad, UTZ, Douwe Egberts Foundation and various institutions within the Sri Lankan tea sector. The purpose of this evaluation is to inform UTZ and other stakeholders about the outcomes of the UTZ tea programme in Sri Lanka, and to draw lessons and recommendations. The evaluation aimed particularly to identify, describe and evaluate the social, economic and environmental outcomes of the UTZ tea programme, from the perspective of different stakeholders.
