This end term evaluation (ETE) of the SG+ Project follows two specific objectives of learning and accountability. It is therefore both summative and formative with a general purpose to identify the project achievements and challenges of implementation and generate learnings for future programming and next phases of similar interventions. The accountability purpose is to provide an overall assessment of the performance achieved by the intervention.

The ETE covers the whole the implementation period, hence from December 2020 to December 2024, building and complementing on the findings of the mid-term Review and Result Oriented Monitoring ROM review. It covers all communities in Uganda where regions in activities took place, notably, Kampala, Mbarara and Wakiso. It is worth noting that field visits will take place in Kampala, Wakiso and Mukono. Thematically, the ETE covers all Project intervention areas and outcomes within intervention areas, and it involves stakeholders from ENABEL and the PSFU, the Project management unit, the steering committee, the EU Sustainable Business for Uganda Platform (SB4U), the Curriculum developers and soft skills trainers, the National Information Technology Authority and companies hosting graduates.

The Corporate Emergency Evaluation (CEE) of WFP’s Response in Yemen mandated by the Office of Evaluation (OEV) served the dual objectives of accountability and learning. It provided accountability for results to WFP stakeholders, and generated evidence on WFP's performance in Yemen specifically to inform WFP's future engagement in the country and share good practices to promote broader learning on WFP's response to complex and protracted crisis.

The evaluation covered WFP strategies and interventions in Yemen between January 2019 and September 2024. While the main units of analysis of the evaluation were the ICSPs 2019-2022 and 2023-2025,the evaluation also assessed WFP's work in Yemen that was not explicitly captured in the ICSPs.

The evaluation assessed WFP contributions to CSP strategic outcomes, establishing plausible causal relations between the outputs of WFP activities, the implementation process, the operational environment, and changes observed at the outcome level, including any unintended consequences.

It will also focus on adherence to humanitarian principles, gender equality and wider equity considerations, protection and accountability to affected people.

The humanitarian engagement aimed to deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance to high-risk populations and to increase polio vaccination coverage among children in priority areas in Afghanistan.

The project aimed to strengthen EU-Australia relations, in line with bilateral agreements, by highlighting their cultural dimension and ensuring coherence with the Indo-Pacific Strategy, the EU-Australia Framework Agreement, and the EU’s cultural diplomacy strategies and programmes.

More specifically, the project aimed to:

• Strengthen EU public diplomacy in Australia and increase EU visibility within Australian society and government through a series of Maria Callas hologram performances and accompanying activities, such as networking events and a related exhibition.
• Establish new ties with decision makers and influential individuals in Australia, using the events as a strategic platform for engagement.

The overall objective of the project was to strengthen EU-Australia and EU-New Zealand relations, in line with bilateral agreements and in coherence with the objectives of the EU’s Foreign Policy, as well as key EU strategies: the European Green Deal, a Stronger EU in the World, the EU’s Multilateral Strategy, the EU-Asia Connectivity Strategy, the Indo-Pacific Strategy, Global Gateway and Strategic Compass.

Specific objective(s)

• To advance existing policy dialogues and open avenues to expand relations in priority areas for the EU in Australia and New Zealand, through communication actions that contribute to the implementation of the bilateral Framework Agreement with Australia, the Partnership on Relations and Cooperation Agreement (PARC) with New Zealand, and future bilateral Free Trade Agreements.
• To increase understanding of EU policies and objectives, to build support and agreement in areas of mutual interests for the EU with Australia and with New Zealand, and to increase awareness of the role of the EU as a global player, via public diplomacy activities.

This evaluation concerns eight projects funded by the EU which have been mainly delivered through the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear (CBRN) Risk Mitigation Centres of Excellence Initiative (CoE). The Initiative’s main objective is to strengthen the long-term capacity of, and to foster long lasting cooperation among the national and regional authorities, and administrative bodies responsible for tackling CBRN threats. The projects contribute to the same general objective to address specific global and trans-regional threats to peace, international security and stability, through enhancing governance and cooperation on CBRN risk prevention, detection and mitigation.

The primary aim of this evaluation is to provide the pertinent services of the European Union and other interested stakeholders with:

• A comprehensive independent assessment of the performance of selected actions (projects) carried out under the EU CBRN program. The evaluation focuses on measuring their results against the intended objectives and evaluating the sustainability of these outcomes beyond the projects duration.
• Identification of best practices at regional or national levels that have effectively amplified the impact of the actions. These practices can serve as models for replication or inspiration in other countries.
• Compilation of a set of deliverables such as guidelines, manuals, standard operating procedures, framework laws, and training modules to disseminate and replicate by partner countries in order to bolster their capacities in mitigating similar CBRN risks.

The "Learning2gether2" program continues Finland’s support to implementation of the New Ukrainian School (NUS) reform, focusing on the Upper Secondary School (USS) Academic reform (Grades 10-12) with a budget of up to 20 million EUROs over four years. The purpose of the appraisal was to assess the feasibility of the Programme as defined in the draft Programme Document (PD).

The key issues of the appraisal were the Programme’s relevance to beneficiaries and main stakeholders in Ukraine, feasibility of the proposed implementation strategy, organisational structures, TA support, work plans, resource allocations and budget, sustainability as well as the result orientation and likely effectiveness in Ukraine. An important question to verify was how the Programme fits into the NUS/USS reform and its different phases, and what its contribution to the reform is. The appraisal also assessed the integration of cross-cutting objectives into the programme plan. The appraisal also included the finalisation of the draft Programme Document.
