The general purpose of this assignment is to provide the European Commission, EU Member States, and other stakeholders with an independent final evaluation of the Bêkou Trust Fund (Fonds UE Bêkou). The Bêkou Trust Fund was established in July 2014 to support the Central African Republic in its transition from crisis to development through stabilisation, reconstruction, and resilience-building interventions. The final evaluation covers the period from the Fund’s inception until 2024. This strategic evaluation has a dual thematic scope: on the one hand, all the sectors of intervention financed by the Fund, and, on the other hand, the Fund as a political and financial instrument.

The evaluation examined 12 projects funded by the Institutional Cooperation Instrument (ICI) across Central Asia (Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan), Vietnam, Nepal, and Indonesia. Its primary goal was to provide objective insights that would enhance accountability, foster learning, and support informed decision-making. The evaluation utilised the OECD DAC criteria, with a specific focus on assessing the effectiveness, impact, and sustainability of these projects. This process involved conducting in-depth reviews of each of the 12 projects, which were implemented by key Finnish institutions, offering a comprehensive analysis of their achievements, challenges, and overall outcomes.
