Our projects

Systematic analysis of the monitoring data should result into recommendations to improve the implementation and design of assistance to civil society and to the EU monitoring to reach the overall objective to contribute to civic resilience and grassroots democracy in the Eastern Partnership. Trainings should be developed and conducted for a sustainable learning experience. The data and analysis should also be presented for communication on the achievements of the civil society assistance and contribute to various reporting exercises.

The outputs of the monitoring on the ground and analysis should enhance the ability of EU project managers to contribute to regular reviews of action progress and operational plans. The concise feedback resulting from the monitoring of an action should allow EU project managers to have more assurance in assessing the content and quality of monitoring reports from CSOs which would allow them to suggest corrective measures or to support efficient and effective implementation. Further to this, the analysis provided should guide future programming

The expected outputs of this contract are as follows:

• Monitoring system of EU-funded civil society projects that will complement existing EU systems of project monitoring maintained and improved;
• Analysis and knowledge sharing products to support decision-making generated and disseminated;
• Capacity of EU project managers, CSOs staff to monitor and implement projects strengthened.

The overall objective of our services is to ensure the highest standards of programme delivery across Afghanistan. Given the unique challenges posed by the country's diverse and hard-to-reach regions, TPM aims to:

• Collect reliable field-level data
• Provide independent verification of programme outcomes
• Identify critical implementation issues

Key tasks TPM undertakes include:

• Training and deploying field monitors as well as ensuring they are equipped with the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their duties effectively
• Ensuring quality assurance
• Implementing supervision and quality checks, including GPS-embedded reports and photos, to validate field monitoring activities
• Submitting detailed monthly reports

By doing so, it is aimed to inform programme planning, improve delivery, and maintain accountability and transparency in all UNICEF initiatives.

The aim is to reinforce the positive perception of the EU beyond its status as the largest donor (in donations), but also as a trusted partner with its partner countries. To achieve this, the DUE wishes to establish a new narrative of the EU in Djibouti as a key player in development and a long-term partner. With the paradigm shift brought about by the arrival of Global Gateway, the way the EU interacts with partner countries has changed. GG has made available innovative financing tools and opportunities, including EFDS+ guarantees. These elements will need to be translated into the new C&V strategy.

Specific objective(s)

3. Develop and consolidate networks with the media, influencers and opinion leaders to improve the perception of the EU, with a particular focus on young people (15-30) and women to raise awareness of Global Gateway initiatives in Djibouti.

Cross-cutting objectives that should be reflected in C&V messages and activities:

1. Human rights

2. Gender equality

3. Environmental protection and promotion of sustainable, inclusive development
