Title: Operational Guidelines on the preparation and implementation of EU financed actions specific to countering terrorism and violent extremism in third countries |
---|
Abstract The European Union (EU) recognises the need to address the threat of terrorism, and further develop cooperation within both its neighbourhood and external regions to prevent or counter violent extremism (P/CVE). The EUs Counter-Terrorism (CT) Strategy comprises four pillars Prevent, Protect, Pursue, Respond - designed to reduce terrorism globally, while respecting human rights. The prevent pillar can be distinguished from the following three in that it focuses on non-coercive measures that seek to prevent or mitigate violent extremism. The remaining three pillars tend to focus on or coercive measures, such as those conducted by law enforcement or the military, as well as the activities of intelligence services, which usually work alongside or in support of law enforcement and the military. This reflects the fact that over time international policymakers have acknowledged that security measures alone cannot address the complex nature terrorism, especially in terms of reducing the enabling environment for violent extremism....These Guidelines is intended to provide a comprehensive practical framework on the EUs external actions in the area of counter-terrorism (CT) and preventing and countering violent extremism (P/CVE). It offers practical support and operational Guidelines to EU staff on the design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of EU financed CT and P/CVE specific interventions in third countries.[Author vide copyright] |

Abstract The objective of this evaluation is to assess the extent to which budget support has contributed to achieving its expected results by helping the Government of Ghana (GoG) to strengthen the implementation of its national and sectoral strategies. The study covers all operations with disbursements in the period 2005-2015. It covers the effects of budget support on macro-fiscal management, public financial management, decentralisation, private sector development, various cross cutting issues such as gender, and outcomes in the sectors targeted by budget support. In-depth analyses have been carried out in Health, Environment and Natural Resources, and Agriculture. The evaluation follows the OECD methodology for the evaluation of budget support.[Author vide copyright] |

Title: External Evaluation of the Greenland Decision : (2014 mid 2017) ; Final Report |

Title (other): External Evaluation of the Greenland Decision : (2014 mid 2017) ; Final Report - Annexes | External Evaluation of the Greenland Decision : Short Summary |
Abstract This evaluation of the Greenland Decision (GD) will feed into the Mid-Term Review of the European Unions 2014-2020 External Financing Instruments (EFIs), taking place in 2017. The evaluation assesses whether the instrument is fit for purpose to deliver EU resources in keeping with the EUs external policy, both at the start of the planning period (2014) and currently. It also considers the place of the instrument ? its complementarities and synergies ? within the wider set of external financing instruments.The GD (Council Decision 2014/137/EU), which is the instrument governing relations between Greenland, Denmark and the EU, is unique. Its foundation is a political agreement by the Council, with the aim of preserving the close and lasting ties between the parties after Greenland left the European Community and became associated with the EU as an Overseas Country and Territory (OCT) in 1985.During the period 2014-2020, the EU will use the GD framework to channel 217.8 million to Greenland. The potential areas for policy dialogue and collaboration mentioned in the GD are education, natural resources (including raw materials), energy, climate, Arctic issues, social sector, and research/innovation. The programming document pinpoints education as the focal sector.[Author vide copyright] |

Abstract This Midterm Evaluation of the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP) is one of several parallel evaluations of External Financing Instruments under the Multiannual Financial Framework 2014-2020, and feeds into the required Midterm Review report of the External Financing Instruments. The Midterm Review started in June 2016 and is to be finished by the end of December 2017, as per the Common Implementing Regulation Article 17.The Midterm Evaluation covers all three components of the IcSP: (a) responses in situations of crisis and emerging crisis (IcSP Regulation Article 3); (b) conflict prevention and capacity building in pre-and post-crisis situations and to build peace (Article 4); and (c) global and trans-regional as well as emerging threats to peace, international security and stability (Article 5). It assesses whether the IcSP is fit for purpose to deliver EU resources towards EU external policy objectives, both at the start of the evaluation period (2014) and at present (mid 2017), and considers the current place of the IcSP its unique function as well as its complementarities and synergies - within the wider set of the EUs External Financing Instruments.[Author vide copyright] |

---|
Title (other): External Evaluation of the Partnership Instrument : (2014 mid 2017) ; Final Report - Annexes | External Evaluation of the Partnership Instrument : (2014 mid 2017) ; Executive summary | External Evaluation of the Partnership Instrument (PI) : (2014 mid 2017) ; Short Summary |
Abstract The evaluation assesses whether the Partnership Instrument (PI) is fit for purpose and effective in delivering resources towards the achievement of the EU's external policy objectives, both at the start of the planning period (2014) and in the period since. The evaluation also considers the Instruments complementarities and synergies with the wider set of EU External Financing Instruments (EFIs). The geographical scope of the evaluation covers all countries eligible under the PI Regulation, with a focus on six countries (Argentina, Brazil, China, India, Mexico and the United States) where individual actions were examined via a series of mid-term and final evaluations.The overarching purpose of the assignment is to provide an independent evaluation of the Partnership Instrument and to identify key lessons learned to improve current programming and inform future decision-making. In addition, the evaluation of the PI for the period 2014-2017, together with parallel evaluations of other EFIs under the Multi-annual Financial Framework (MFF), will inform the mid-term review (MTR) of the EFIs.[Author vide copyright] |

Title (other): Handbook on ROM reviews and support to end-of-project results reporting |
Abstract This ROM Handbook presents the detailed rules, modalities, specifications and quality standards governing the organisation and carrying out of the Results Oriented Monitoring (ROM) system implemented as from 2015 under the responsibility of the European Commissions Directorate-General for International Cooperation and Development. It aims to assist, with external consultants, the Commissions services and its representations (EU Delegations -EUD) in the partner countries and regions in the monitoring of and reporting on the implementation of projects and programmes financed within the framework of the EUs external assistance. This assistance represents the follow-up of the former ROM system implemented since the beginning of the devolution in 2000.The reforms contained in the new ROM system are part of a wider set of reforms relating to its overall project and programme monitoring, reporting and evaluation systems. The reforms are designed to enhance the Commissions accountability and management capacities with a stronger focus on results at all levels, including the EU's corporate level as a donor, through the new EU international Cooperation and Development Results Framework.[Author vide copyright] |

Title: Desk Review of the European Consensus on Development : Was the ECD instrumental in shaping the objectives, values and principles of EU and Member States development cooperation policies? |
---|
Abstract The purpose of this review is to determine whether the European Consensus on Development (ECD) was instrumental in shaping the development policies and strategies of the EU and its Member States after 2005. To what extent were the values, objectives and principles reflected in the EU Member States strategies to combat poverty and promote human rights and sustainable development? The results of the review will feed into the elaboration of a new vision for the future European Development Policy, in line with the 2030 Agenda and associated Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as well as the Addis Ababa Action Agenda (AAAA) on Financing for Development.[Author vide copyright] |

Abstract This evaluation studies the European Union (EU) aid delivery mechanism of delegated cooperation (DC) with EU Member States and third donor countries during the period 2007-2014. The main objectives of the evaluation are to provide an overall independent assessment of DC and to formulate recommendations to improve DC in the future.There are two types of delegated cooperation, namely:Delegation Agreements (DAs): funds entrusted by the European Commission to development cooperation entities from EU Member States or other donors; andTransfer Agreements (TAs): funds entrusted to the Commission by EU Member States, other governments, organisations or public donors.This evaluation covers DAs and TAs signed by the Commission during the years 2007-2014, except DAs which are part of financial blending arrangements and DAs funded with resources from the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA), the Instrument contributing to Stability and Peace (IcSP), the Instrument for Stability (IfS) and the Rapid reaction Mechanism. All regions where DAs and TAs have been or are being implemented -except pre-accession countries- are part of the geographical scope of this evaluation. Contribution agreements concluded with international organisations are not covered in this evaluation.[Author vide copyright] |

Title: Energy for all : EU Support for developing countries ; Report |

Title (other): Energy for all : EU Support for developing countries ; Annexes | Energy for all : EU Support for developing countries ; Summary |
Abstract The questions that this survey seeks to address include the issue of what not having affordable energy means practically to people in developing countries. It asks respondents what kind of energy sources should be prioritised in these countries in the future. It gauges the opinions of European respondents on the key questions of whether the EU ought to be assisting developing countries with energy access, whether a greater share of the development aid budget should be spent in this area, and whether the EU itself derives any benefit from such activities. And finally the survey considers how important energy access is compared to other aid concerns such as the provision of access to safe drinking water.[Author vide copyright] |
