Our projects

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.

ROM services to be provided through this contract are clustered in three components:

** Component 1: ROM Reviews. ROM contractors will assess the performance of EU-funded interventionson the basis of the following OECD DAC evaluation criteria: relevance, efficiency, effectiveness, and sustainability.

ROM reviews will cover:

-A sample of EU funded interventions during the inception phase of implementation. The ROM review will support the OM in confirming or updating intervention logic and logframe matrix, in reviewing the monitoring system of the IP, in assessing risks and mitigation measures and fine tune the calendar of activities with a view to improve the performance of the intervention across the OECD DAC criteria.

- ROM reviews will assist the OM in adressing the main implementation problems.

-Other interventions for which Commission services request a ROM review on demand (interventions which could not be visited by EU OMs or for which there is a lack of sector expertise in the EU Delegation/operational unit in HQ).

- Blending operations, focused on asessing the value added of the EU contribution and on the performance of blending interventions in terms of socio-economic development.

** Component 2: Quality assurance and support at design stage for a sample of interventions. Provide technical support to EC services in the formulation of intervention logics and related logical frameworks matrices (logframes) and monitoring and reporting arrangements for a sample of interventions.

**Component 3: Results report (at corporate and intervention level). The Contractor will provide services to encode and quality control results data for a set of interventions subject to results reporting. TOM contractor will ensure quality control of data included in the intervention's logframes. Such quality controls will include, amongs others: verifying that the logframe is correctly encoded and up-to-date , enssuring that the latest values related to logframe indicators are available, and supporting the aggregation of intervention-level results into the EU Results Framework or other frameworks.

This End-Term Evaluation (ETE) of the Renewable Energy for Rural Development Phase II Plus (RERDII+) irrigation component was both summative and formative in nature, with the overall purpose of assessing project performance, identifying results and generating learning for future solar-powered irrigation programming in Mozambique. The intervention was designed to strengthen agricultural productivity, climate resilience and rural development through the deployment of Solar-Powered Irrigation Systems (SPIS), while supporting farmer capacity development, institutional strengthening and market development for solar irrigation technologies.

The evaluation covered the implementation of the irrigation component implemented by Enabel in partnership with the National Irrigation Institute (INIR). The intervention focused on the provinces of Manica and Zambézia and aimed to promote sustainable uptake of solar irrigation through infrastructure deployment, financing and co-financing mechanisms, engagement with private suppliers, institutional capacity building and knowledge generation for future scaling.

Thematically, the evaluation assessed project performance against the OECD-DAC criteria of relevance, coherence, effectiveness, efficiency, impact and sustainability, while also examining cross-cutting issues including gender equality, youth inclusion, support to vulnerable farmers and environmental sustainability. Particular attention was given to efficiency and sustainability, in line with the Terms of Reference.

The evaluation involved key stakeholders at national, provincial and local levels, including Enabel, INIR, provincial and district authorities, private suppliers, financial actors, service providers and beneficiary farmers. The methodology combined a desk review of programme documentation, interviews with institutional and sector stakeholders, field visits in Manica Province, beneficiary consultations and case studies documenting farmer-level effects and lessons learned.

Through this approach, the evaluation assessed the relevance of solar irrigation to Mozambique’s agricultural and climate-resilience priorities, examined early effects on production, livelihoods and resilience, analysed financing and market development mechanisms, reviewed institutional and private sector roles, and identified lessons and recommendations to support future scaling of solar irrigation systems. The evaluation found that RERDII+ successfully demonstrated the potential of solar irrigation for rural development but highlighted the need for stronger financing mechanisms, institutional anchoring, post-installation support and market ecosystem development to ensure long-term sustainability.

The project will give support IHCAFE and SAG to put in place a data collection campaign protocol and a robust management system to strengthen the existing national coffee farmer registry, with the end goal to support compliance with the EUDR and potential future market regulation, support sustainability and coffee producers livelihoods policies, and prepare avenue for expanding the mechanism to other deforestation risk commodities.

RE-INTEG (“Enhancing Somalia’s responsiveness to the management and reintegration of mixed migration flows”) is a long-term EU Trust Fund for Africa (EUTF) programme in Somalia with a total budget of EUR 55 million, implemented from September 2016 to December 2025 across Somalia, including Somaliland and all Federal Member States. The programme supports a development-oriented response to displacement and mixed migration, aiming to strengthen stability and socio-economic recovery by improving absorption capacities and livelihood conditions in areas of return and departure. Its specific focus is on enabling sustainable and durable reintegration of refugees, returnees (including from Yemen, Kenya, Europe and other areas of departure) and IDPs, and helping to “anchor” populations within Somalia.

Operationally, RE-INTEG is structured around four broad result areas: (1) closing gaps in the management of refugees and returnees; (2) strengthening rule of law and governance through improved policies/legal frameworks for displacement and migration and enhanced cross-border cooperation; (3) improving access to basic services and livelihood opportunities in key areas of return/departure through area-based approaches implemented by multiple consortia; and (4) supporting Somalia’s COVID-19 response as an additional result introduced through a programme adjustment. Implementation is delivered through several major contracts involving partners such as IOM, UNHCR, IDLO, WHO and multiple NGOs/UN actors working on protection, services, livelihoods, and institutional capacity.

The final evaluation will provide an independent assessment of the programme’s performance and results, explain what has driven or constrained achievements, and generate lessons learned and actionable recommendations to inform ongoing implementation and future EU engagement on durable solutions and mixed migration management. It assesses RE-INTEG against the DAC criteria (relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability, and early signs of impact) plus EU added value, while also considering cross-cutting priorities (notably gender and environment/climate where relevant) and programme governance/coordination arrangements led by the EU Delegation with Somali counterparts and implementing partners.

The 'Inclusive Local and Economic Development' (ILED) programme comprised 14 individual interventions in Somalia. The overall objective of ILED was 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. In line with this objective, the 14 interventions were organised under three thematic pillars: stabilisation and governance, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, and social safety nets. Using an integrated territorial approach, the programme was implemented in four strategic corridors of Somalia: Juba River, Shabelle River, Central-North, and Somaliland. ILED was financed by the EU Emergency Trust Fund for Africa with a total budget of almost 100 million EUR.

The evaluation was commissioned by the EU Delegation to Somalia. Its global objective was to provide the relevant services of the EU and interested stakeholders with an overall independent assessment of the performance of the ILED programme, paying particular attention to the results achieved and the underlying reasons of these achievements. It also sought to identify lessons learned, conclusions, and recommendations to improve current and future interventions. The object of evaluation was the programme level (rather than the individual interventions). The evaluation scope covered the entire implementation period from September 2018 to December 2025, all three thematic pillars, and all four geographic corridors.

The methodology to answer the six evaluation questions (EQs) relied on a reconstructed Theory of Change and a mixed methods (albeit predominantly qualitative) approach. After a comprehensive document review, the evaluation team conducted field missions in the four corridors of the programme in Somalia, as well as meetings in Nairobi. The evaluation findings were presented in a dissemination seminar in Mogadishu.

The Changing Lives Transformation Fund (CLTF) of the World Food Programme (WFP) was established to provide selected WFP Country Offices (COs), via calls for proposals, with funding to better support governments to design and implement policies and programmes that improve the lives of the most vulnerable people.

The CLTF has three windows, under which a total of 10 country proposals were selected in 2023:

• Window 1: Transition (of populations from dependence on humanitarian assistance to increased self-sufficiency) - Chad, Kenya, Philippines.
• Window 2: Systems strengthening (better capacity and resilience of national programmes and systems) - Bangladesh, Iraq, Niger, Peru.
• Window 3: Climate adaptation - Ghana, Nicaragua, Tanzania.

For each window, the research team designed a global impact measurement framework comprising a theory of change, evaluation questions, indicators, and quantitative and qualitative methodologies for impact measurement. The team also assessed the feasibility of independent impact evaluations in all 10 country proposals.

5 COs were selected for further technical assistance for impact measurement: Chad and Kenya (under Window 1), and Bangladesh, Iraq and Peru (under Window 2). Together with each of these 5 COs, the team conducted research design workshops and developed country-specific concept notes on impact measurement questions and strategies. Finally, the team provided in-country support for baseline data collection and analysis to the COs in Chad, Kenya, Bangladesh and Peru.

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). The evaluation approach combines document review and stakeholder consultation to generate evidence-based findings and practical recommendations, and is implemented within the ToR’s fixed reporting milestones.

The Government of Ukraine, with financial support from the World Bank-administered Ukraine Relief, Recovery, Reconstruction and Reform Trust Fund (URTF), is implementing the HOPE Project to facilitate the repair of partially damaged housing caused by the Russian Federation’s military aggression. The main objective of the assignment is to support the Government of Ukraine in supervising the HOPE Project by independently verifying, monitoring, and reporting on the implementation of Component 1. This includes assessing compliance with legal and World Bank standards, evaluating the eligibility and transparency of expenditures, tracking project results and impacts on beneficiaries, and collecting stakeholder feedback. Particip will conduct a comprehensive analysis of processes, identify gaps or risks, and provide recommendations to improve project delivery and advance its development goals.

The Project is managed through the Ministry for Communities and Territories Development (MCTD) and is structured around three main components, each contributing to housing recovery and institutional capacity building.

Component 1: Repair of Partially Damaged Residential Units (USD 590 million)

This component provides financial compensation to eligible households for the emergency repair of their single-family homes (SFHs) or apartments in multi-family buildings (MFBs) that sustained minor or medium damage.
