The European Union Trust Fund (EUTF) for Africa provides a coordinated response by the European Union, its Member States and other donors to multiple crises affecting the most vulnerable and marginalised people in the Sahel and Lake Chad, the Horn of Africa, and the North of Africa. The overall objective of the EUTF is to support all aspects of stability and contribute to better migration management as well as addressing the root causes of destabilisation, forced displacement and irregular migration, in particular promoting resilience, economic and equal opportunities, security and development, and addressing human rights abuses.
This evaluation will focus specifically on protection interventions financed by the EUTF North of Africa window in Libya. It will cover eight major interventions financed by the EU over the 2017-2021 period. The main objectives of the evaluation are to provide the relevant services of the European Union and interested stakeholders with:

• An overall independent assessment of the performance of the eight interventions, paying particular attention to different levels of results, measured against the expected objectives; and the reasons underpinning such results;
• Key lessons learned, conclusions and related recommendations in order to improve current and future Protection interventions in Libya.

In particular, this evaluation will serve to:

• Measure the level of aggregated results achieved by the interventions and assess how they have contributed to NoA strategic objective 3 “Strengthen protection and resilience of those in need” (as defined in the Result matrices of the EUTF-NoA and the (re)constructed IL elaborated);
• Understand the reasons behind the performance of the interventions to provide recommendation on how to strengthen relevance, effectiveness, sustainability and impact of the future EU interventions in the Protection sector in Libya.
