Chile

The overarching aim was to foster a stronger and more visible EU presence in Chile through a diverse set of communication interventions. These included:

• Strategic communication campaigns that promoted the EU's political and cooperation agenda;
• Public diplomacy activities such as cultural and educational exchanges, stakeholder dialogues, youth engagement and executive trainings;
• Visibility support for EU-funded and co-funded projects, including producing multimedia content, managing press relations, and enhancing social media reach;
• The organisation of events marking EU priorities, such as Europe Day, and support for high-level visits by EU officials;
• Dedicated support to the Team Europe Initiative on Green Hydrogen, including the development of a communication strategy, a project website, and promotional media.

The project operated with a Whole Delegation Approach, ensuring coordination across EUD Chile sections and with Member States and integrates cross-cutting themes such as gender equality, environmental sustainability, and inclusive outreach.

The communication outputs were required to be accessible, sustainable, and aligned with EU branding standards, while maintaining close collaboration with local partners and media to guarantee effective delivery.

The objective of this facility is to improve the overall quality of the NDICI Rapid Response and Peace, Stability and Conflict Prevention thematic areas by providing high quality research services.

We will provide the FPI with flexible and ad hoc research services and prepare literature reviews and rapid assistance reports in the thematic areas specified below.

The overall objective of the LCBA programme was to promote EU companies on low carbon and circular economy related technologies and services at regional scale in the Americas

The Action contributed to promote and defend EU economic interests, in particular SMEs and small-mid caps, on the regional stage and thus constituted a major operational action in support of an EU Economic

Diplomacy. It also contributed to the limitation and/or reduction of industrial GHG emissions in line with the commitments of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

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

• an overall independent assessment of the past performance of the Public Diplomacy Actions (EU Policy and Outreach Partnership in South America – Phase II and EU Policy and Outreach Partnership, Canada – Phase II), paying particular attention to its results measured against its expected objectives; and the reasons underpinning such results;
• key lessons learned, conclusions and related recommendations in order to improve current and future Actions.

In particular, this final evaluation served to understand the performance of the Actions, their enabling factors and those hampering a proper delivery of results as to inform the planning of the future EU interventions in relation to EU Policy and Outreach Partnerships (EUPOPs) and Cultural Diplomacy. To this end, this final evaluation also looked at the package of Actions as a whole.

The evaluation assessed the Actions using the five standard DAC evaluation criteria, namely: relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and perspectives of impact. In addition, the evaluation assessed two EU specific evaluation criteria:

• The EU added value (the extent to which the Actions bring additional benefits to what would have resulted from Member States' interventions only);
• The coherence of the Actions and approach with the EU Global Strategy, the new EU priorities for 2019-2024, as well as with other EU policies and Member State Actions.

Additionally, the evaluation team performed the following tasks:

• Identified type of activities that are frequently included across EUPOP Actions and facilitate the comparison across countries by highlighting the approach, the organisation costs (fees, incidentals) and summarised the key aspects in a table.
• Summarised some best practices per type of initiative/target audience/country in a booklet format.

The evaluation team furthermore considered whether gender, environment and climate change were mainstreamed; the relevant SDGs and their interlinkages were identified, and the extent to which they have been reflected in the implementation of the Actions, their governance and monitoring.

The global objective of the assignment is to support good governance, including the strengthening of civil society, and the promotion and protection of human rights in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Uruguay and Venezuela. The specific objective is to support the strengthening of EU grant beneficiaries’ capacities in the implementation of their projects.
