The global objective of the final evaluation was to assess the project's performance and achievements
against the project's overall objective, and advise on lessons learnt which may have implications for
further interventions in the sector. Taking into account the different initiatives, programmes, donors and other complementary actions, and considering that CARIFORUM is preparing a proposal for an 11th EDF successor Programme, part of the assignment also aimed at identifying complementary actions/projects (ongoing or in preparation) related to Climate Change.
The specific objective of the final evaluation was to provide the European Commission with:

• An overall independent assessment of the performance of the 'Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA) Caribbean Support Project, paying particularly attention to the results of the programme against its objectives (including the performance of different early warning systems (EWS), level of participation in different trainings, level of coordination with other projects/donors, reached visibility);
• Key lessons and recommendations in order to improve current and future actions of a similar nature for a possible follow-up programme to be financed under the 11th EDF Regional Programme.
