Evaluation of ADELANTE (final / ex-post phase 1 and interim second phase)

This evaluation of the Adelante phases 1 (final evaluation) and 2 (interim or mid-term evaluation) aims to provide :

• an overall independent assessment of the performance of the ADELANTE programme, paying particular attention to its different levels of results measured against its expected objectives; and the reasons underpinning such results,

• key lessons learned, conclusions and related recommendations to improve future interventions,

• appropriateness of the programme within wider paradigm shift towards international partnerships and to promote Global Gateway.

In particular, this evaluation will serve to:

• To assess if Triangular Cooperation / ADELANTE is replicable to other regions and in what form.

To suggest what implementation modality (grant, service contracts, direct / indirect management) would be most appropriate in case of a continuation of the programme;

• To inform decision-making on the appropriateness and thematic priorities of a possible follow-up.
