The EU Cohesion Policy is a key investment strategy aimed at reducing regional disparities and fostering smart, sustainable, and inclusive growth across the EU. It operates through national, regional, and Interreg cooperation programmes to support infrastructure, the green transition, connectivity, and social inclusion in the EU Member States, while preparing candidate countries for EU membership by building administrative capacity through Interreg and tailored training programmes.

The project aims to strengthen the EU's engagement with Colombia on external impacts of EU Green Deal policies and regulatory frameworks, with emphasis on the regulation on deforestation and forest degradation, through the use of EU's digital tools.

This evaluation has two overarching objectives. Firstly, it aims to provide an independent and comprehensive assessment of the performance and strategic relevance of the European Union’s (EU) 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.

This independant evaluation of WFP Country Strategic Plan (CSP) in Tajikistan assesses the strategic positionning, added-value and results of WFP operations in the Country from 2021 to 2025.
The evaluation serves the double purpose of accountability (performance and result assessment) and learning (why certain results occurred or not, lessons and evidence for decision-making). It is envisioned that the evaluation will inform the design of the new CSP for Tajikistan, which is scheduled for Executive Board consideration in November 2026.

This mid-term evaluation concerns the Budget Support programme “Support to the Formalisation of the Economy Including Social Protection and Support to Public Finance Management.” The global objective of the evaluation is twofold:

• To provide the relevant services of the European Union and interested stakeholders with an overall independent assessment of the programme’s performance, with particular attention to its different levels of results measured against expected objectives and the underlying factors influencing those results; and
• To identify key lessons learned, conclusions, and related recommendations in order to inform decision-makers on how to improve current and future Budget Support programmes.

This mid-term evaluation aims to provide an independent and rigorous analysis of the intervention's performance in terms of its results, impact and sustainability, and to draw operational and strategic lessons to guide the future stages of the EU Programme in the field of the blue economy in Algeria.

The monitoring and evaluation technical services to be mobilized under the present multi-sector action aim to continue assessing the extent to which the strategic objectives of the EUTF are being achieved. The contract builds on the existing Monitoring and Evaluation (hereafter M&E) system put in place by the Fund in December 2016 and serves to complement the regular M&E activities carried out by the EUTF operational team at headquarters as well as the internal monitoring conducted by EUTF local officers, at country level.
In particular, the contract serves:
I. To provide evidence-based knowledge on progresses achieved by EU Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian Crisis (EUTF Syria) financed projects, and to inform on their management, through regular and ad-hoc Results Oriented Monitoring (ROM);
II. To measure the effectiveness of EUTF actions, through centralized data collection and analysis, based on disaggregated quarterly Results Reporting;
III. To evaluate the sustainability, efficiency and effectiveness of EUTF-funded programmes at thematic and geographic level and to assess potential prospects of impact, through portfolio evaluations.

The current objective is to improve the performance of the Swiss HoA programme.

FRAP will initially focus on Somalia (including Somaliland).

The overall objective of lot 2 Framework Contract is to provide, as defined via individual assignments and contracted through specific contracts, short-term expertise to support electoral processes in partner countries.
