In line with the 2008 Declaration on Joint Post-crisis Assessments and Recovery Planning, the overall objective of the project is to assist and develop third countries’ in-country capacity to gradually assume a more prominent role in Post-Disaster Needs Assessments and Post-Conflict Needs Assessments (now changed to Recovery and Peacebuilding Assessments, RPBA).

The general objective of the Binational Programme was the promotion of socioeconomic development in the two countries, in the border regions and in the Northern Corridor of the Island. It aimed thus to contribute to enhance the regional partnership of those two countries.
The Binational Programme consisted of two programmes with two distinct Financing Agreements. The first programme, whose coordination was assured by the National Authorising Officer in Haiti, was in the areas of trade, environment / local development and in the reinforcement of the Joint Bilateral Commission. The second programme, coordinated by the National Authorising Officer of the Dominican Republic, aimed to reinforce the infrastructure in the Northern Corridor.

The European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) aims to develop closer relations between the EU and its neighbouring countries (6 in Eastern Europe and 10 in North Africa and the Middle East). To that end, the ENI evaluation is designed to assess whether ENI is fit for purpose to deliver EU resources towards EU’s external policy, both at the start of the planning period (2014) and currently, and will consider the place of ENI – its complementarities and synergies – within the wider set of external financing instruments (EFIs). Together with other independent evaluations of each EFI, the ENI evaluation will feed into the Mid Term Review Report of the EFIs required by the Common Implementing Regulation (CIR) by end December 2017.

The Evaluation of the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA II) assessed whether IPA II is fit for purpose to deliver EU resources towards EU's external policy, both at start of the planning period (2014) and at the time of the evaluation (2017), and considered the place of IPA II – its complementarities and synergies – within the wider set of external financing instruments.
The objective of the IPA II evaluation was: 1) to provide the relevant external relations services of the European Union and the wider public with an independent assessment of the IPA II instrument, including complementarities/synergies between IPA II and the other EFIs; and 2) to inform the future programming and implementation of the current EFIs, as well as the next generation of the EFIs.

The project provided a change management expert who, under the supervision of the Reform Task Team (RTT), was entrusted with conducting a comprehensive re-orientation and re-structuring of the National Authorising Officer's Support Unit (NAO SU) with a final goal of significant and measurable improvement and optimization of the NAO SU.

The project supported the environmental policy and law reform which the government of the Republic of Armenia initiated in recent years with the cooperation of the EU, other international donors such as UNDP and UNEP, and also bilateral projects financed by the German BMUB.

• The finalization of the draft law on environmental policy and;
• =The adaptation of the sectoral environmental legislation.

The project “Enhancement of Procurement Capacity of Local Government Authorities in Tanzania” contributed to ensuring systems and structures of governance to uphold the rule of law which are democratic, effective, accountable, predictable, transparent, inclusive and corruption free at all levels.
The evaluation provided answered to "how" and "why" questions and was essential for assessing the value of the achieved results and of the implementation process of the whole intervention.

The overall objective was to promote European higher education to students and academic staff in Asia and Central Asia, and to promote cooperation activities between European and third country higher education institutions.
The result achieved are the organisation of at least five higher education fairs in Central Asia and Asia in the period 2014 to 2016.
We provided all related and necessary support, ranging from the identification (design of the fairs: themes, venue, timing, participants, visibility/communication strategy, budget), implementation (logistic), follow-up (reference documents, quality monitoring, dissemination of results).
