• To assess the effectiveness of various influencing activities, means and channels and Finland’s best opportunities to influence (intuitions and bodies, country delegations, interventions etc.) taking into account available human and financial resources.
• To analyze the factors (structures, processes, tools, capacity, other) that have facilitated/enabled or hindered the positive results of the influencing activities.
• To provide insight on the best opportunities and ways to engage and influence in the future, especially under the new EU funding instrument and the evolving development cooperation scene.
• To provide insight on how the Ministry together with other relevant stakeholders could develop their practices in order to maximize influence for the future, taking into account available human and financial resources.

The main objectives of this evaluation are to provide the relevant services of the European Union and theinterested stakeholders with: 1) An overall independent assessment of the past performance of ‘EU-South East Asia Cooperationon Mitigating Climate Change impact from Civil Aviation (EU-CCCA)’, paying particular attention to its results measured against its expected objectives; and the reasons underpinning such results; 2) Key lessons learned, conclusions and related recommendations in order to improve current and future Actions.

This evaluation will serve as an external view as to whether performance of this Action can be considered satisfactory/lacking expected progress, identify its enabling factors and those hampering proper delivery of results. The evaluation is to provide recommendations, taking into account the possiblyidentified problems and opportunities. As the findings may serve to inform the planning of the possible future EU interventions and Actions in the same sector, the exercise should encompass both forward and backward looking perspectives.

Evaluations should provide an understanding of the cause and effect links between: inputs and activities, and outputs, outcomes and impacts. Evaluations should serve accountability, decision making, learning and management purposes.
