This evaluation covers the European Union’s cooperation with Kenya during the period 2006-2012. The objectives of the evaluation as defined in the terms of reference are (i) to be accountable and to provide the relevant external co-operation services of the European Union (EU) and the wider public with an overall independent assessment of the EU’s past and current co-operation relations with Kenya, and (ii) to identify key lessons and recommendations in order to improve the EU’s current and future strategies, programmes and actions. The following sectors and types of support have been studied in detail: transport and infrastructure; agriculture and rural development; macro-economic support, and; governance, with a focus on support to local governance and Non-State Actors (NSAs). The design and methodology of this evaluation are based on the methodological guidelines of the DG DEVCO Evaluation Unit, which was also responsible for managing this evaluation. A Reference Group in which all main stakeholders were represented, including various EU directorates, the Delegation of the European Union (DEU) in Kenya and the Government of Kenya (GoK) guided the evaluation.[Author vide copyright]

The evaluation has three objectives: To assess EU support to environment and climate change in third countries through the Thematic Programme for Environment and Sustainable Management of Natural Resources including Energy (ENRTP)1, and through the geographic instruments.To evaluate EU support to strengthening global environment and climate governance, provided under ENRTP and channelled mainly through international organisations.To assess EU support for mainstreaming environment and climate change issues into EU external aid programmes through the analysis of two key sectors: infrastructure (including energy) and agriculture/rural development.The assessment focuses on outcomes and impacts of the EU actions in environment and climate change, identifies key lessons and best practices, and produces recommendations in order to improve the current and future EU strategies, policies and actions. The evaluation covers the period 2007-2013. The geographical scope includes all third regions and countries under the mandate of the EU Directorate-General for International Co-operation and Development (DG DEVCO)that are covered by the thematic programme ENRTP and by the Development Co-operation Instrument(DCI), European Development Fund(EDF)and European Neighbourhood Partnership Instrument(ENPI) geographic instruments. Also,interventions co-financed and managed by the EU Directorate-Generals for Environment (DG ENV), Energy (DG ENER)or Climate Action (DG CLIMA) are included if the funds are provided by DG DEVCO.As such, this assessment replies to the Court of Auditor’s recommendation of carrying out an overall evaluation of the Commission’s devel-opment cooperation environmental assistance (interventions and mainstreaming).[Author vide copyright]
