This mid-term evaluation concerns the Budget Support programme “Support to the Formalisation of the Economy Including Social Protection and Support to Public Finance Management.” The global objective of the evaluation is twofold:

• To provide the relevant services of the European Union and interested stakeholders with an overall independent assessment of the programme’s performance, with particular attention to its different levels of results measured against expected objectives and the underlying factors influencing those results; and
• To identify key lessons learned, conclusions, and related recommendations in order to inform decision-makers on how to improve current and future Budget Support programmes.

This mid-term evaluation aims to provide an independent and rigorous analysis of the intervention's performance in terms of its results, impact and sustainability, and to draw operational and strategic lessons to guide the future stages of the EU Programme in the field of the blue economy in Algeria.

The monitoring and evaluation technical services to be mobilized under the present multi-sector action aim to continue assessing the extent to which the strategic objectives of the EUTF are being achieved. The contract builds on the existing Monitoring and Evaluation (hereafter M&E) system put in place by the Fund in December 2016 and serves to complement the regular M&E activities carried out by the EUTF operational team at headquarters as well as the internal monitoring conducted by EUTF local officers, at country level.
In particular, the contract serves:
I. To provide evidence-based knowledge on progresses achieved by EU Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian Crisis (EUTF Syria) financed projects, and to inform on their management, through regular and ad-hoc Results Oriented Monitoring (ROM);
II. To measure the effectiveness of EUTF actions, through centralized data collection and analysis, based on disaggregated quarterly Results Reporting;
III. To evaluate the sustainability, efficiency and effectiveness of EUTF-funded programmes at thematic and geographic level and to assess potential prospects of impact, through portfolio evaluations.

Results Oriented Monitoring (ROM) reviews aim to assist the European Commission’s services and EU Delegations in monitoring of and reporting on EU financed development and cooperation projects and programmes in third countries through independent reviews of the progress of their implementation and the achievement of project results.

The overall objective is to independently monitor and/or verify that SJF supported activities are being implemented with quality and integrity by NGOs, Government partners and participating UN entities and to assess the impact of SJF funded programmes on the target beneficiaries in line with fiduciary principles.
