Overall objective:
In this case, the aim was to contribute to the implementation of the civil society support programme by supporting the Ministry of Finance, EDF National Authorising Officer and the Delegation of the European Union in the evaluation process of grant applications received under the EuropeAID/163-741IH/ACT/NE call for proposals.
Specific objectives:
This was particularly the evaluation of short notes in the first instance and full applications in the second instance. These were validated and approved by the parties involved, mainly within the Evaluation Committee and during the ex-ante control of the Delegation of the European Union.
The assessors carried out the technical evaluation of the summary notes provided by the contracting administration of the programme (PASOC III) in accordance with the guidelines of the call for proposals.
The assessors were also be responsible for evaluating complete applications (technical and budget evaluation).
The assessors had to write the technical evaluation grids at each step.
The evaluation of each note or complete application was the subject of two readings and did thus involve at least two assessors. The Head of Mission was responsible, among other things, for arbitrations in the event of evaluations (between assessors), the consistency and quality of all evaluations, and thus equal treatment of all applications. On the basis of the assessments by the assessors and following its arbitration
in the event of divergent scores, the Head of Mission drafted response letters which were sent to each applicant. These letters were made available to the evaluation committee at the debriefing session.
