As a result of the February 2021 Coup d'état in Myanmar and the subsequent need to rethink the Finnish support to the peace and democratization efforts in the country, the Ministry for Foreign Affairs of Finland (MFA) commissioned an assessment to provide inputs to its future programming in Myanmar. It assesses the achievements of five projects under the Finnish Peace Support Programme, including their ability to adapt to the post-coup situation, as well as provide inputs and recommendations for a continuous engagement in Myanmar. The assessment covers the three year period from 2019 to 2021.

This final evaluation of the “Citizens' Empowerment in the Republic of Moldova” intervention was implemented between 28/12/2018 and 31/12/2021 with a budget of 4,900,000.00 EUR.

The evaluation team furthermore considered whether gender, environment and climate change were mainstreamed; the relevant SDGs and their interlinkages identified; the principle of Leave No-One Behind and the rights-based approach methodology followed in the identification/formulation documents and the extent to which they were reflected in the implementation of the Intervention, its governance and monitoring.
