The general purpose of this assignment is to provide the relevant EU services, EU and non-EU donors

The final evaluation covers the period since the EUTF for Africa inception in November 2015 until December 2024. Thematically, the evaluation focuses on the EUTF's objective of addressing the root causes of irregular migration and forced displacement.

The primary objective of this assignment is to provide the relevant EU services and the wider public with an independent assessment on the extent and manner in which the EU’s cooperation, particularly through the Commission, with pre-accession candidates in the Western Balkans has contributed to their alignment with EU standards under Chapter 24 of the acquis, as well as with the EU Pact on Migration, covering the period from 2018 to 2023.
