The Legal Services Facility was a basket fund designed and managed initially by a Technical Assistant/Fund Manager to support legal aid and paralegal service provision in Tanzania. The Facility channelled funding on an equal opportunities basis to legal aid and paralegal service providers on Tanzania mainland and Zanzibar that assist individuals to claim their rights, redress grievances, and which protect fundamental human rights of the individual.
The Facility provided fair and efficient administration of grants to promote the objectives and strategies of legal aid and paralegal organizations and provided professional services. The size of the fund was approx. 13.2 million USD. Danida and DFID contributed to the basket fund, though other development partners were expected to join at a later stage.

Mid-Term Review of the intervention “Support to the development of human resources of beneficiary organisations “SDHR” The SDHR project addressed problems related to skill gaps of human resources in strategically selected beneficiary organizations, particularly in the priority sectors of the Belgian-Ugandan Bilateral Cooperation (Health, Education and Environment). The purpose of the review was to provide answers to "how"- and "why"-questions, assess the value of the results achieved and of the whole implementation process of the intervention.

The scope of the evaluation covered ECHO's actions, both in South Sudan and Sudan, between 2011 and 2015.

The overall objective was to recruit assessors to assist the Contracting Authority in the selection of the best proposals received under the call for proposals for "SWIM II Demonstration Projects" and to achieve a highquality, complete and coherent selection process of projects in line with the criteria set in the Guidelines for applicants.

The global objective of the project was to increase the visibility of the EU development work done in Viet Nam and to promote the EU`s positive image.

L'évaluation avait pour principaux objectifs:

• de fournir aux services de coopération extérieure concernés de l’Union européenne et au gouvernement partenaire (le BON, le Ministère de l'Environnement, particulièrement la Direction Changement Climatique - DCC):
• une appréciation globale, en toute indépendance, des résultats de toutes les activités conduites dans le cadre du programme AP3C à date, en s’attachant plus particulièrement aux résultats du projet par rapport à ses objectifs;
• les principaux enseignements de l'intervention et des recommandations afin d’améliorer les futures actions.

The review examined the Cotonou Partnership Agreement (CPA) that defines the EU cooperation with the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States, reconstructed intervention logics for all three pillars (political, economic and development cooperation (incl. human and social dimension), revised EQs and JCs, and analysed evaluation reports with the aim to:

• identify qualified or rated evidence linked to the achievement of the objectives of the CPA in the 111 evaluation reports (country, regional, thematic, aid modalities),
• examine the achievements according to DAC criteria, namely relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, coherence and EU added value,
• make conclusions about evolution and trends throughout the existence of the CPA per judgement criterion,
• conclude main lessons learnt from the evaluations, and
• indicate gaps of information and suggest ways to fill them.

As a supporting tool at the analysis stage, the review used the software MAXQDA that served the purpose of better organising the reading work.
The review was one of the four elements that helped prepare a comprehensive evaluation of the CPA.
After the finalisation of the assignment, the contract was extended in order to conduct an additional task, which was a review of additional reports in order to identify results of EU development cooperation since the adoption of the European Consensus for Development; the review was embedded in the EU efforts at implementing Agenda 2030.

There is sufficient wealth of experience now to reflect more thoroughly on the IfS Crisis response component accomplishments since the creation of the IfS in 2007.
The objective was to draw lessons from what had worked and what had not, so that the effectiveness of the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace can be continuously improved.
The main objectives of this evaluation were to provide the relevant stakeholders in the European Union
(including policy-makers and the wider public) and elsewhere with:

• an independent assessment of the overall implementation of the IfS Crisis response component, paying particularly attention to the results achieved against its objectives;
• key lessons and recommendations in order to improve current and future action financed under the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace.

This evaluation will also be used to generate information for:

• the final evaluation of the IfS (2007-2013)18;
• the mid-term review of the External Financing Instruments19.

The evaluation did benefit from and drew upon from the findings of the existing project and programme evaluations of the IfS Crisis response component as well as from overall programme-level evaluation of the IfS (July 2011).

The global objective of the assignment was to provide information on the European Union to the citizens of Serbia in order to achieve a higher level of knowledge of the EU accession process, and a high level of visibility of EU activities in Serbia by rendering assistance to the EU Delegation in Serbia.
