This End-Term Evaluation (ETE) assessed the Renewable Energy for Rural Development Phase II Plus (RERDII+) irrigation component in Mozambique, implemented by Enabel and the National Irrigation Institute (INIR). The project aimed to strengthen agricultural productivity, climate resilience and rural livelihoods through the deployment of Solar-Powered Irrigation Systems (SPIS), while supporting farmer capacities, institutional development and market uptake.
Covering interventions in Manica and Zambézia provinces, the evaluation examined project performance against the OECD-DAC criteria, with particular attention to efficiency and sustainability. The methodology combined document review, stakeholder interviews, field visits, beneficiary consultations and case studies. The evaluation found that RERDII+ successfully demonstrated the potential of solar irrigation to improve agricultural productivity and resilience, while highlighting the importance of sustainable financing, stronger institutional anchoring and post-installation support for long-term impact and scaling.

RE-INTEG is an EU Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF) programme in Somalia that supports a development-oriented response to displacement and mixed migration, with the aim of enabling sustainable and durable reintegration of refugees, returnees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), and anchoring populations within Somalia. It covers Somalia, including Somaliland and all Federal Member States, and spans September 2016 to December 2025, with an overall budget of EUR 55 million.
The final evaluation will provide an independent assessment of RE-INTEG’s performance and results, identify lessons learned and recommendations, and inform future EU support for durable solutions to displacement. It will assess the programme against the DAC criteria (relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability, and early signs of impact) plus EU added value, and consider cross-cutting aspects such as gender and climate/environment mainstreaming.

This final evaluation assesses the EU-funded QUALITAN programme, implemented by UNIDO under Tanzania’s BEGIN programme, which aimed to strengthen MSME compliance with quality standards, improve market access, reduce compliance costs and enhance consumer protection. Covering the period from 1 January 2022 to 24 July 2025, the evaluation will provide an independent assessment of the programme’s performance, sustainability, stakeholder contributions and implementation constraints. Using a theory-based, mixed-methods approach and contribution analysis, it will examine relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, perspective of impact and EU added value, while integrating cross-cutting issues such as gender equality, youth, LNOB, human rights, environment and climate considerations.

The Sustainable Reintegration Support to Ethiopian Returnees from Europe and to Vulnerable Displaced Populations Affected by COVID-19 (SRSERE) project was designed to promote the sustainable reintegration of Ethiopian returnees from Europe and to contribute to the development of a national reintegration system for Ethiopia. It also sought to provide ARRA (now RRS) with the financial, human, and technical resources necessary to strengthen services and address the needs of vulnerable displaced populations in Ethiopia affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The evaluation will assess the evidence on the extent to which, and through which mechanisms, the EU intervention contributed to the achievement of the intended results, and shall identify the factors that enabled or constrained progress.

The global objective is to support the Government of Mongolia with the formulation and design of the MONGOLIA SUSTAINABLE FOREST MANAGEMENT AND BIOECONOMY FRAMEWORK LOAN financed by the European Union and the European Investment Bank and possible other co-financing institutions under a blended financing arrangement.

The objective of this project is to strengthen partnerships between the EU and Honduras to collectively address the challenges of attaining deforestation-free supply chains. The support is targeting Instituto Hondureño del Café (IHCAFE) as well as the Subsecretary of Coffee from SAG and ICF on behalf of other entities as a basis for a wider deforestation-free value chain support compliance.

The Youth Action Plan (YAP) in EU External Action 2022–2027, adopted in October 2022, aims to promote meaningful youth participation and empowerment in EU external action for sustainable development, equality, and peace. The global objective of this evaluation is twofold:

• To provide the relevant EU services and stakeholders with an independent assessment of the performance of the YAP, ensuring accountability by examining results at different levels against expected objectives and analysing the factors underpinning those results.
• To identify key lessons learned, conclusions, and recommendations regarding the YAP in order to inform decision-makers on how to improve current and future interventions on youth mainstreaming in EU policies, dialogues, and actions, notably within Global Gateway initiatives.

'Inclusive Local and Economic Development' (ILED) was an EUTF-funded programme that aimed to contribute to stability in Somalia by extending state authority and services, promoting local reconciliation and peacebuilding, creating inclusive economic opportunities, and protecting the most vulnerable. It relied on an integrated territorial approach that clusters individual interventions within four strategic corridors.
The evaluation was commissioned by the EU Delegation to Somalia. It provides an overall independent assessment of the performance of the programme and identifies lessons learned, conclusions, and recommendations. The evaluation adopted a theory-based approach using mixed methods and covered the entire implementation period from 2018 to 2025, all key result areas, and all four corridors.

The Wehubit 2.0 programme is Enabel's flagship D4D/innovation programme working on Digital Social Innovations (DSIs). This independent evaluation assesses the performance of Wehubit 2.0 against its objectives, with a focus on relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability and impact. It follows Enabel’s evaluation standards and includes a field visit in Dakar (Senegal).
