This evaluation of the Adelante phases 1 (final evaluation) and 2 (interim or mid-term evaluation) aims to provide :
• an overall independent assessment of the performance of the ADELANTE programme, paying particular attention to its different levels of results measured against its expected objectives; and the reasons underpinning such results,
• key lessons learned, conclusions and related recommendations to improve future interventions,
• appropriateness of the programme within wider paradigm shift towards international partnerships and to promote Global Gateway.
In particular, this evaluation will serve to:
• To assess if Triangular Cooperation / ADELANTE is replicable to other regions and in what form.
To suggest what implementation modality (grant, service contracts, direct / indirect management) would be most appropriate in case of a continuation of the programme;
• To inform decision-making on the appropriateness and thematic priorities of a possible follow-up.
