The objective of the assignment was to produce a meta-analysis which highlights the key trends observed in evaluation reports published by EVA-11. The report fed into an annual report requested by the Finnish Parliament.

The following issues were analysed:

• Description of EVA-11 evaluation portfolio
• Key findings summarised by trend/theme
• Main conclusions by trend/theme
• Main recommendations
• Evaluation challenges

The study provided relevant information to the Government of Guinea and the European Commission justifying the development of a technical landfill center (TLC) within the framework of the Urban Development and Sanitation Program in Guinea (SANITA) to be financed by the 11th FED.

The specific objectives of this contract included:

• Identify and make a comparative analysis of the sites of a TLC.
• Evaluate the technical, economic and financial feasibility for setting up a TLC.
• Evaluate the environmental and social impact and propose a management plan to remedy it.
• Develop the 'Design and Build' tender dossier.
• Develop the terms of reference for technical assistance for the examination of offers related to the Design & Build contract, the contractualization with the successful tenderer as well as the control mission for monitoring the rehabilitation.

The principal objectives of the evaluation were to present the following to the concerned departments of the EU’s international cooperation, to the partner government and, if need be, to the general public:

• a global, totally independent assessment of the results of the intervention (1st phase of the project Rehabilitation of basic social services and reinforcement of local authorities’ capacities in the poles of development (PDD)) by putting a special focus on the results of the project in relation to its objectives;
• the principal lessons learnt of the intervention as well as recommendations in order to improve the measures in place and future actions.

Being the mid-term evaluation, its principal objective was related to the weak performance of the implementation of the Project less than a year before the expiry of the contract, which had already been extended to D+7. It seemed to be crucial to identify the underlying causes for that in an independent and detailed way, which allowed the evaluator to propose short-term correcting solutions in order to finalize or reorient the foreseen activities in an appropriate way, to strengthen the achievement of the results and to limit decommitments upon expiry of the convention.

In the framework of its Partnership Instrument, the EU is pursuing action in support of the worldwide abolition of death penalty which is a top foreign policy objective and priority in the EU external human rights policy.

Asia appears as the next frontier in the international campaign against capital punishment. With eight retentionist countries of out 10 ASEAN Member States, South-East Asia (SEA) is a region where capital punishment remains a general standard, with strong roots in local history, cultures and religions/beliefs. A project "Moving away from Death Penalty in South-East Asia" has therefore been designed under the EU's Partnership Instrument. One of its components was this regional awareness campaign with the global objective to promote the abolition of death penalty in South-East Asia

Specific objectives:

• accompany the ASEAN Intergovernmental Commission on Human Rights (AICHR) death penalty study and recommendation process;
• develop and deploy a communication plan and tools in support of regional action on death penalty.

The general objective of this contract was to assist the EU Delegation in Tunisia in the identification (phase 1) and the formulation (phase 2) of a budget support program for the implementation of the Strategy and Action Plan for the Reform of Justice, thus complementing JRSP I and II.

The program was to contribute to the reform of justice in order to reaffirm the independence of the justice and to enhance its effectiveness in the provision of public services to Tunisian citizens.

Specific objectives:

To draw up an inventory of the progress made in the implementation of the Strategy for Reform of Justice 2016-2020. This was based on the consolidation of the achievements of phases I and II of the JRSP. Other areas of justice were also covered in this new program, including civil and commercial justice. Moreover, administrative and financial justice underwent major reforms under the new provisions of the 2014 Constitution. Budget support also included technical assistance / institutional support as well as support to society so as to speed up the planned reforms.

Following the identification of the areas of intervention and in agreement with the beneficiary authorities, the mission formulated the support program in detail, demonstrating its relevance and consistency with policy objectives and instruments of the EU and the country, its feasibility, its complementarity with the actions of other donors, as well as with projects already underway or planned by the EU. The missionl drafted all the documents necessary for the implementation of the action.

The general objective of the assignment is to support the Tunisian authorities (presidency of the Government and concerned ministries united in a steering committee) in conducting functional reviews in order to reform the public administration.

The specific objectives of the mission are as follows:

• support to the Tunisian government in the launch of functional reviews of four ministerial departments;
• follow-up the good implementation of the functional reviews and assure coherence and coordination between the processes followed within each entity concerned, until a final document will have been prepared by each team.
