Evaluation of the EU funded support to the Kosovo Assembly

The global objective was the systematic and timely evaluation of the twinning projects “Support to Kosovo Assembly” (CRIS 2011/277-389), “Strengthening the functioning of Kosovo Assembly”(CRIS 2014/341-055) and “Further support to the Kosovo Assembly” (CRIS 2016/372-105). The focus of evaluations was on the assessment of achievements, the quality and the results of actions in the context of an evolving cooperation policy with an increasing emphasis on result-oriented approaches. From this perspective, evaluations looked for evidence of why, whether or how these results were linked to the EU intervention and seeked to identify the factors driving or hindering progress.
