This evaluation has two overarching objectives. Firstly, it aims to provide an independent and comprehensive assessment of the performance and strategic relevance of the EU’s partnership with the Republic of Guinea. Secondly, it seeks to identify key lessons and produce forward-looking recommendations to inform responsible decision-makers – particularly within the European External Action Service and the Directorate-General for International Partnerships – on how to enhance the quality, coherence, and impact of the EU’s current and future strategies, programming, and actions in Guinea.

Its specific objectives are as follows:

• To assess how the EU’s overall engagement in Guinea has contributed to its strategic objectives at the country level, through political dialogue, development cooperation, trade, and investment initiatives;
• To provide EU external cooperation services and the broader public with an independent assessment of the EU’s cooperation with the Republic of Guinea over the period 2014-2024.

The evaluation will focus on six priority sectors: i) return to constitutional order; ii) south-north migration; iii) natural resource exploitation and public finance; iv) energy; v) climate change; and vi) health.

The evaluation will deliver findings, conclusions, and lessons regarding the effectiveness, coherence, and sustainability of the EU support in Guinea. It will also provide targeted, practical, and forward-looking recommendations to improve the design and implementation of current and future EU interventions in Guinea under the 2021-2027 programming period

The general purpose of this assignment is to provide the relevant EU services, EU and non-EU donors

of the trust fund, African partner countries and the wider public with an independent final evaluation of

the EUTF for Africa. The EUTF for Africa is financing interventions in several countries in Africa, crossed by the major migration routes, including countries in the Sahel and Lake Chad regions, the Horn of Africa and North Africa. The final evaluation covers the period since the EUTF for Africa inception in November 2015 until December 2024. Thematically, the evauation focuses on the EUTF's objective of addressing the root causes of irregulat migration and forced displacement.

The specific objectives of the evaluation are:

• to independently assess/examine/analyse the EUTF for Africa and its interventions;
• to assess overall whether and how the EUTF for Africa as an instrument of EU external

assistance (and the financed interventions) contributed to address the root causes of irregular

migration and forced displacement, taking into account the specific characteristics of the EUTF

for Africa, compared to other funding instruments;

• to identify key lessons and to provide recommendations to inform future EU strategic

approaches and actions in addressing irregular migration and forced displacement, thereby

filling the evaluation and knowledge gaps, that this evaluation aims to address;

• finally, the evaluation would assess whether EUTF for Africa interventions have effectively

addressed cross-cutting issues, such as human rights, gender and youth in the context of

irregular migration and forced displacement.

The objective of this SEA is to inform the Government of Sierra Leone as well as the EU and other donors on the potential significant environmental, climate and social challenges and opportunities related to the Forestry and Wildlife Sector Strategic Planning Framework (SPF) 2024-2030 and the potential Forest Partnership with the EU.

This includes the identification of potential significant impacts on the environment and climate that may result from the implementation of the Forestry and Wildlife Sector Strategic Planning Framework (SPF) 2024-2030 and the potential Forest Partnership; the identification of measures to avoid or minimize adverse impacts and to maximize positive impacts.

The SEA will also identify the challenges that environmental degradation and climate change pose to the sustainability and feasibility of the Forestry and Wildlife Sector Strategic Planning Framework (SPF) 2024-2030 and the potential Forest Partnership and identify measures to be integrated in those actions to take them into account and enhance their resilience.

The SEA will thus provide elements that will contribute to enhance the state of the environment and health, build climate resilience of the forest sector and the population, contribute to disaster risk reduction, and promote low carbon development and the transition to a green economy.

This assignment consists of an evaluation of the European Union’s Budget Support in Montenegro, focusing on three strategic areas: Public Administration Reform (PAR), Integrated Border Management (IBM), and the response to COVID-19. It covers four sector budget support programmes implemented between 2016 and 2026, including the PAR programme, two IBM programmes, and COVID-19 crisis response support. The evaluation will assess the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, coherence, EU added value and sustainability of these interventions, with particular attention to their contribution to Montenegro’s EU accession agenda. It will examine how EU financial support, policy dialogue and complementary technical assistance have supported reforms, strengthened national systems, and contributed to governance, security, economic recovery and social resilience.

The work will combine document review, interviews, field visits, quantitative analysis and stakeholder consultation, structured around reconstructed intervention logics and evaluation questions. The evaluation will provide evidence-based findings, conclusions and recommendations for future EU support in Montenegro.

Methodologically, the assignment will follow the OECD-DAC approach to budget support evaluation, structured around the levels of the intervention logic: inputs, direct outputs, induced outputs, outcomes and contextual impact indicators. The evaluation will not aim to prove direct causality for higher-level results, but will assess the plausibility and consistency of EU contributions in relation to observed changes. Evidence will be gathered through a combination of documentary review, administrative and statistical data, interviews with EU, government, donor and civil society stakeholders, focus groups and field visits.

The Final Evaluation of the Budget Support Programme “Support to Justice Sector Reforms in Armenia, Phase I” provides an independent assessment of the programme’s effectiveness, efficiency, and impact in supporting Armenia’s policies on good governance, rule of law, justice, and anti-corruption. It examines the extent to which EU budget support has helped strengthen institutional capacities, improve policy frameworks, and enhance public budget spending in support of the Government of Armenia’s reform agenda. The evaluation also considers how this support has enabled progress on Armenia’s commitments under the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA).It reviews the sustainability of supported policies and analyses the complementarity and synergies between EU budget support, other aid modalities, and interventions by development partners. A further objective is to identify constraints in government policies, institutional structures, and administrative arrangements that may reduce the effectiveness of budget support in promoting public spending reforms and targeted policy actions. The findings are intended to inform future EU cooperation in Armenia and strengthen the design and delivery of budget support operations in the justice sector.The general objectives of this evaluation are:

• to assess the contribution of EU budget support and complementary assistance to capacity building;
• to assess policy dialogue, coordination mechanisms, and policy monitoring processes;
• to answer the evaluation questions.

The Evaluation Manager is responsible for the management and the coordination of all activities, which mainly include:

• methodological steering of the evaluation
