The Joint End-Term-Review of i) EHA - Roll out the National Results Based Financing Policy in the Acholi Sub-Region and ii) LSF - Leveraging strategic health financing for Universal Health Coverage was commissioned by Enabel.

EHA and LSF aimed to contribute to Universal health coverage with focus on primary health care services in Tanzania. EHA runs from 2019 up to 2024, and covers the West Acholi region with a budget of EUR 9,7 million. LSF runs from 2021 up to 2024, and covers the West Acholi, Rwenzori and West Acholi regions with a budget of EUR 4 million.

The end-term review served the purposes of accountability (through performance assessment), and learning and steering (by explaining what works and does not work, and why, as well as through evidence-based lessons for other interventions and recommendations for decision-making). It addressed the six evaluation criteria of relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, impact and sustainability, as well as the cross-cutting issues of gender and youth empowerment, among others.

Qualitative data were collected during a two-week field mission (including stakeholder interviews, focus group discussions with leadership and members of cooperatives, and direct observation) and in remote interviews. The review also drew on documents and existing quantitative M&E and survey data.

The main objectives of this evaluation are to provide the relevant services of the European Union, the interested stakeholders with:

• An overall independent assessment of the performance of selected CT-P/CVE measures funded by FPI.2 during the years 2017-2022, paying particular attention to its different levels of results measured against its expected objectives; and the reasons underpinning such results
• As a particular approach to regional actions, a specific case study shall be carried out to assess the regional framework for support to CT-P/CVE measures in the Asian context, managed by the Regional Team in Bangkok. It is expected that the present evaluation assesses the relevance, added value and success of developing a model for CT and P/CVE actions, respectively, which have been replicated in different countries/contexts in Asia/Pacific (in Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Maldives for CT; and in Southeast Asia, Sri Lanka and Maldives for P/CVE). If deemed relevant, links can also be made to regional approaches in other RTs;
• Key lessons learned, conclusions and related recommendations in order to improve current and future interventions.

In particular, this evaluation will serve the contracting authority and other interested services to better understand the performance of the Intervention, its enabling factors and those hampering a proper delivery of results to inform the planning and implementation of current and future support to tackle CTP/CVE.

The main use of the results of the evaluation is expected to be

• To draw general lessons that can be used for the future approach to interventions in the sector
• To draw specific lessons that can be replicated in other similar interventions
• To draw specific lessons from the regional approaches, in particular the one applied by the Regional Team in Bangkok in terms of stocktaking, dynamics and replicability.

The main users of this evaluation will be the contracting authority, FPI.2, including its Regional Teams in Bangkok, Nairobi, Dakar, Eastern Europe and Central Asia (managed from Brussels). The Regional Team in Brasilia is less involved since they currently do not manage any CT-P/CVE projects.

The global objective of this study was to enhance the understanding of the reported recent attempts to radicalise and recruit individuals (including, but not limited to, dynamics of recruitment, motivations, target groups and threat posed) in the countries covered by the scope of the study, and of the threats they pose. To achieve this, the study looked into the interrelated relevant phenomena (including grievances, political dynamics and foreign religious influences). The final aim was to contribute to the development of potential EU support to address these challenges and build resilience and social cohesion.

The specific objectives of the project were:

• To investigate the dynamics of the reported growth of radicalisation and recruitment efforts in Liberia and in Guinea- Conakry (possibly linked to the expansion of Wahhabism/Salafism in the region).
• To assess the threat posed by such potential expansion and its interrelations with relevant national and regional causes of fragility.
• To assess the gaps, needs and interest for a possible EU intervention, complementing existing efforts. This assessment should consider opportunities, challenges and risks of such an intervention.

The members of the Sahel Alliance have chosen to concentrate their efforts in five priority sectors of intervention, in line with the development priorities established by the G5 Sahel countries: Agriculture, rural development and food security; Decentralisation and basic services; Education and youth employment; Energy; Governance.

The overall objective of this contract is to produce the 5-years Technical Report in line with the needs of the SA needs. In line with the commitments of the SA and its members, the Sahel Alliance Coordination Unit (UCA) plans to produce a SA 5 years results report in 2023.

The 5 years results report will include the following elements:

• Analysis of the evolution of the national indicators included in the Alliance results framework in relation to the target values set by the G5 Sahel countries.
• The analysis of the aggregated results of the projects included in the Alliance Sahel portfolio in line with the project indicators included in the Alliance Sahel results framework.
• Analysis of the achievements attributable to the Sahel Alliance stricto sensu will beproduced, in order to show whatthe platform has collectivelyachieved and what its membersare achieving individually.

The following elements should be taken into consideration while drafting the report:

• A qualitative analysis will be needed, particularly in terms of Sahel Alliance member organizations contribution to the provision of basic services;
• The contexts of Sahelian countries (crisis, displacement of population, COVID-19, etc.) should be taken into account in the analysis of results where possible;
• Where possible, the results obtained should be read with regard to the existing policy messages and the sectoral notes issued by the sectoral and thematic coordination groups of the SA in order to measure their operational translation

The overall objective of this assignment was to contribute to improving the electoral and democratic framework of Malawi during the inter-election period and raising awareness and understanding of the EU EOM recommendations and technical issues related to their implementation.

In general, an EFM supports the consolidation of democracy, institution-building and democratic elections in Malawi in the context of the implementation of the 2019 EU EOM recommendations.

The specific objectives of the Mission included:

• Assess the state of play of the implementation of the recommendations of the 2019 EU EOM to Malawi;
• Assess any electoral reforms adopted since the last EOM or which are under consideration (e.g. draft legislation) or planned and the degree to which these reflect EOM recommendations and their alignment with international standards for democratic elections;
• Identify which EOM recommendations are most relevant to the prevailing country situation and the current phase of the electoral cycle;
• Generate additional impetus for – or contribute to ongoing debates on – electoral reform;
• Identify areas of agreement and disagreement on EU EOM recommendations among the stakeholders and any political, technical, financial obstacles to electoral reform;
• Propose actions to overcome obstacles to electoral reform, including measures to develop support for and national ownership of the recommendations;
• If helpful and requested, assist the EU Delegation, EEAS and INTPA in their assessment on whether ongoing cooperation and conflict prevention projects are addressing the recommendations made by EU EOMs. Based on a brief overview of existing programmes, provide needed information to support identification of potential additional election/democracy support action that could contribute to strengthening the implementation of the recommendations and/or to the overall improvement of the electoral framework;
• Contribute to analysis by the EU Delegation, EEAS and INTPA with information to originate any other possible EU actions that could contribute to strengthening the implementation of the recommendations and/or to the overall improvement of the electoral framework;
• Prepare/update with EU Delegation a follow-up plan to EU EOM recommendations.

The purpose of this evaluation was to assess the strategies and programmes of the African Development Bank (AfDB) in Djibouti and Mauritania. Its specific objectives were to take stock of the results achieved by the AfDB in Djibouti and Mauritania, to put them into perspective in relation to the resources deployed, and finally to identify lessons learned that could help the AfDB improve the effectiveness of its cooperation in these two countries. In line with the BDEV guidelines, the evaluation determined the relevance of the strategies and programmes adopted by the AfDB and set out in the CSPs, as well as their effectiveness, sustainability, efficiency and contribution to achieving the development objectives of each of the two countries concerned for the period 2011-2020.

The evaluation took place in a difficult political, economic and social context in both countries, marked by the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Indeed, the economic and social impact of the pandemic had a negative influence on the implementation of development actions supported by the AfDB, if only because of the response put in place by governments, in particular travel restrictions.
