With this evaluation assignment, the EC aimed at responding to the increasing emphasis on result-oriented approaches for EU interventions within the cooperation policy and SDG implementation. The focus of this evaluation was to assess the achievements, the quality and the results of Actions taken in the context of the support programme to Judiciary Reform in Lebanon.
