This project aims to learn from EU programme implementation in support of refugees and host communities and obtain an assessment of results reported under programme T05-EUTFHOA-KE-69 ‘Enhancing self-reliance of refugees and host communities’, while improving in programme monitoring and evaluation frameworks with the aim of enhanced effectiveness and efficiency of future implementation.

The overall objective is to support the FMBEP in strengthening existing capacities for coordination of the EU development interventions in Nigeria. Given the limited budgetary resources in carrying out the key mandates of the EU Unit of the FMBEP relevant to effective implementation of the EU– MIP for Nigeria, it is pertinent to support key activities. This objective is complementary to the economic blueprint of the current Administration, i.e the Medium Term Plans of the Nigerian Agenda 2050 are also critical in meeting the targets of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The timing of the action is therefore relevant for facilitation the implementation of the recommendation from the review of the National Development Plan (NDP) and MIP. The proposed activities for this action will support all the thematic sectors and actions of the EU – MIP 2021 – 2027.

With this Evaluation the EU intends to reflect on its cooperation approach with Nigeria in the
last ten years. This includes the thematic and geographical focus as well as the choice of
implementing partners, EU interests and the objectives of the cooperation with Nigeria, from
the point of view of both strategic partnerships and jointly developed policies, and the positioning
of the EU and Member States in the current political and socioeconomic context of Nigeria.
The Evaluation is commissioned for accountability purposes (the last country evaluation was
conducted in 2010), and at the same time has a strong learning and forward-looking element.

The project focuses on primary (PHC/BPHS) and secondary (SHC/EPHS) health care facilities. The TPM aims to independently verify the implementation processes and outcomes achieved by contracted Service Providers (SPs), including community-level verification.
In particular, TPM activities include:

• Monitoring Health Facility Functionality;
• Conducting HMIS Data and Community verification;
• Assessing Drug Procurement, Distribution, and Storage;
• Monitoring Quality of Care through Quantified Quality Metrics (QQM) Approach, Minimum Standards of Services (MSS), and High-Impact Value Interventions (HIVA)-specific monitoring.

Additionally, the project aims to verify that health workers have received third-party training and assess training and protocols on gender-based violence at EPHS facilities.

The evaluation of the EU-funded intervention "Strengthening Capability for Integrated Border Management in Lebanon – Phase III" aimed to provide an independent and systematic assessment of its performance against the expected objectives and results. It evaluated the intervention’s relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability, and impact, while considering the added value provided by the EU. Particular focus was placed on understanding the factors that influenced progress, including the evolving political and economic challenges in Lebanon—most notably the economic crisis. The evaluation also examined the integration of gender equality, women’s empowerment, environmental and climate considerations, and adherence to the Human Rights-Based Approach and the principle of Leave No One Behind. The findings were intended to inform decision-making for future programming, ensuring accountability and optimising the intervention's potential impact.
