Results Oriented Monitoring (ROM) reviews aim to assist the European Commission’s services and EU Delegations in monitoring of and reporting on EU financed development and cooperation projects and programmes in third countries through independent reviews of the progress of their implementation and the achievement of project results.

The objective is to assist the EU delegation to Mali, and the EDF National Authorising Officer (NAO) in the regular monitoring of all of its current and future projects financed by the European Union through its various financial instruments (EDF, UTF, LB, regional funds, etc.).
The activities to be carried out include: (1) field monitoring missions, (2) development of a remote monitoring system, (3) analysis of all monitoring data from different sources (own, communities, project manager, document review, etc.) in order to estimate the qualitative and quantitative implementation levels for operations, and (4) identification of corrective measures to improve project implementation.
The sectors concerned are those covered by all EU funded projects. These mainly involve: infrastructure (roads, water and sanitation), agriculture and food security, governance, justice and human rights, education, etc. However, the EU also finances projects in other sectors such as security and migration, etc.

The objective of this project is "a strengthened civil society contributes to the respect of human rights, the prevention of conflicts and the preservation of social cohesion".

The Support to Rural Entrepreneurship, Investment and Trade in Papua New Guinea (EU-STREIT PNG) was a large EU-funded UN Joint Programme that aimed to foster rural development in the two Sepik provinces of Papua New Guinea. It adopted a holistic approach that integrated the development of three agrofishery value chains with enabling services and infrastructure in related sectors.
The evaluation was commissioned by the EU Delegation to Papua New Guinea. 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 it covered all programme activities over the entire implementation period.

This evaluation pursues two main objectives. Firstly, it aims to provide an independent and in-depth assessment of the performance of the Support Programme for Creative Industries and Cultural Governance (PAIC-GC) in Burkina Faso, examining its results, impacts, and the factors that explain them. Secondly, it aims to identify key lessons learned and formulate concrete recommendations to inform European and national decision-makers in improving current and future European Union interventions in Burkina Faso's cultural sector.

Support will be provided to Ukrainian Vocational Education and Training (VET) providers to strengthen their capacity to participate in Erasmus+ programmes. All services are to be delivered remotely between June 2025 and May 2026, structured under two main work packages.
Work Package 1: International Engagement through Erasmus+
A total of 40 VET providers will be engaged, with 25 selected for in-depth support. A joint planning workshop will be conducted with the National Erasmus+ Office–Ukraine and GIZ to define the training programme. Initial online sessions will be held to introduce Erasmus+ opportunities, followed by targeted training for the selected providers on project development and application processes. Partnerships with institutions in EU Programme countries will be facilitated, and individual support will be provided throughout the proposal preparation and submission phases. At least 18 Erasmus+ project applications are expected. All sessions will be fully organized and documented, including logistical coordination and reporting.
Work Package 2: Handbook Development
A bilingual handbook (Ukrainian and English) will be created to guide VET providers in drafting Erasmus+ project proposals. The handbook will include step-by-step instructions, visual aids, and digital navigation features, ensuring accessibility across devices. Its content will be tested during the application phase, revised accordingly, and submitted for approval by GIZ and the National Erasmus+ Office–Ukraine.
