Our projects

The technical assistance contributed to a more efficient implementation of EU resources in the Central African Republic and, as a result, improved the effectiveness, efficiency and impact of aid in order to increase its impact on the economic and social development, in line with the National Plan for Recovery and Peacebuilding in the Central African Republic (RCPCA 2017 - 2021) and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Through the institutional support to the National Authorising Officer (Component 1) and the Technical Cooperation Facility (FCT) (Component 2), the project aimed to:

• improve coordination and streamlining of aid (from the EDF, the Bêkou Fund or other donors);
• strengthen the monitoring of public policies through regular political dialogue and interface with technical ministries;
• support the National Authorising Officer Support Unit (CAONF) and the EU-funded project and program management teams;
• support the Minister of Economy, Planning and Cooperation in his leadership on the process of implementation of the RCPCA and the management of aid in the Central African Republic.

The purpose of this Final Evaluation was to assess the relevance, coherence, efficiency, effectiveness, sustainability, and impact of YEP implemented by Enabel under the EU-funded Palestinian Youth Empowerment Programme. It aimed to support accountability for results, inform institutional learning, and generate strategic recommendations to guide future youth employment programming in Palestine and comparable fragile contexts.

The evaluation examined project design, implementation, and results across the three interlinked components of YEP:

• the First Employment Facility (FEF);

• demand-driven TVET and work-based learning interventions; and

• entrepreneurship support for vulnerable youth.

It assessed the performance of the project as a whole and the contribution of each component to the project’s overall objectives.

The scope of the evaluation included all YEP activities implemented in the West Bank and those undertaken in Gaza prior to the suspension of operations in October 2023, through secondary sources. Primary data collection was conducted exclusively in the West Bank, while results from Gaza were reviewed based on available documentation and monitoring data. A survey targeting the beneficiaires of the First Employment Facility (R1) and the Work-Based Learning (WBL) was also conducted to collect and integrate their perspective into the final report.

The global objective of this assignment was to support the EU Delegation in its efforts and activities with respect to EQ recovery support to Türkiye.

The purpose of this contract was to strengthen capacities for monitoring, data collection, data management and reporting through establishment of national environmental information system and monitoring network structure via following results:

Result 1: Development of National Environmental Information System (NEIS);

Result 2: Development of National Environmental Monitoring Network (NEMN) and

Result 3: Strengthening the capacity for implementation of NEIS and NEMN.

The specific objective was to support NEAR A2 in fulfilling its mandate of generating renewed capacity of Commission services to engage with each other and external partners, to develop trust and to rapidly put these new skills to use.

This was made possible through the yearly thematic networks/trainings meetings that were great opportunities for capacity building of EU staff at HQ and Delegations and were further registered in EU Learn.

The regular thematic networks trainings indeed gathered colleagues from headquarters and delegations, in order to present policy updates, share cooperation methodologies, programmes and best practices, discuss and address issues of common interest and thus enable Commission services to learn new tools for achieving effective results.

These trainings addressed policy-related analysis (e.g. gender analysis, do-no-harm and conflict-sensitivity analysis, but not exclusively) and design of assistance. This also included mainstreaming of crosscutting issues such as resilience, digitalization, gender, disabilities, civil society, and more broadly the human rights-based approach, as well as analysis of legislation, regulations and law enforcement, legislative gap analysis, etc.

This project aimed to:

• facilitated the process on EU-Ukraine Association Agreement (AA) implementation, notably by creating flexible on-demand based instrument for addressing key elements of the AA implementation and legal approximation processes such as high-professional advisory to key stakeholders, high-quality legal translations, accurate legal drafting/compliance checks,efficient communication of tehe EUI/AA reforms at national and regional level and improving the professional legal and translation training in higher education institutions; and
• ensured support to the EUI/AA reforms on both national and regional level by means of efficient communication of government authorities of central and regional levels with their target audiences.
