The main objectives of this final evaluation were to provide the relevant services of the European Union and interested stakeholders with:

• An overall independent assessment of the past performance of the China-EU Access to Justice project, paying particularly attention to its results against its objectives;
• Key lessons and recommendations in order to improve current and future actions in this and related sectors.

In particular this evaluation served to assess the results of the action as well as the reasons for success or failure for achieving the expected results.

The specific aspects to be evaluated were:

a) The results and possible impact achieved through project support;

b) The experience of linking state and non-state legal service providers and impact on strengthening of the role of civil society in social justice issues in China;

c) Areas where learning opportunities and transfer of knowledge on legal aid modalities and practice between Europe and China were pursued and analysis of relevance to the broader EU-China strategic relationship.

The global objective of the assignment was to provide technical assistance and capacity building support to Nyein (Shalom) Foundation for its peace process and peacebuilding projects and its support to EAOs.

The specific objectives were to provide project management support and capacity building to Nyein (Shalom) Foundation, in particularly senior management and the Peace Process Support Program. Through embedded needs-driven support to this key national organisation, this assignment has supported the growth and sustainability of Nyein (Shalom) Foundation as well as supporting continuity in support to EAOs during a critical period in the peace process and political dialogue.

The evaluation focused on the "learning" and "accountability" dimensions with a focus on the former. The first required particular attention in order to draw useful lessons for other interventions or for new policies, strategies and programmes.

The review used the "Performance" evaluation grid to carry out the analyses relating to the traditional evaluation criteria which are "effectiveness", "impact" and "sustainability".

The specific evaluation questions used in this review focus on:

• The improvement of communal governance and its contribution to the sustainable improvement food security as well as the options for ensuring the sustainability of the structures put in place;
• Capacity building of local development to
• Lessons and practices learned that could be used as a basis for future interventions, particularly in sectors benefiting from the transfer of skills and resources to local authorities;
• The sustainability risks of investments made under PAMED II and how to miate the
• The conditions for success in terms of utility and sustainability of infrastructure management in public-private partnerships (PPP).

The team followed the methodology proposed in the TOR. Thus, the evaluation questions identified by the TOR guided the data collection in four communes. At least one commune was chosen in each of the four intervention departments, all representing the different levels of performance defined on the basis of the criteria established by the programme. In consultation with the UGAT team and other informants, the mission team selected the communes of Douméga (with the highest score of 91%), Fabidji (86%), Kiéché (74%) and Sokorbé (64%).

The overall objective of the project was to develop realistic options for the introduction of a diploma qualification in the primary education sub-sector and to demonstrate their systemic, financial and institutional implications.

Particip reviewed the various options for a diploma as outlined below:

• Diploma qualification for teachers;
• Diploma qualification for other primary education sub-sector personnel;
• Diploma qualifications in areas of specialisation.

Each review considered different ways in which the category of diploma could be introduced. The project determined the feasibility of sustaining each option in terms of the likely, available financing as well as the set-up costs. The capacity to deliver a diploma programme was analysed as well as implications for Teacher Training Colleges and their associated Teaching Practice Schools. The institutional links necessary to validate a diploma was also explored and elaborated.
