The overall objective of this assignment is to provide a sound basis for the future design, implementation, monitoring and reporting of results of NPD actions to the Commission, FPI.3 and implementing partners as represented by FPI.3.

The specific objectives are to:

• Develop an overall intervention logic and results framework for NPD as an area of FPI intervention, including core indicators.
• Propose an NPD action-level intervention logic and results framework template, including core indicators suitable for sub categories of interventions as relevant, while seeking: (1) Coherence with the overall intervention logic and results framework for NPD as an area of FPI intervention, and (2) Consideration of differences between the focus of different NPD actions and categories of NPD actions.

The main objectives of this evaluation were to provide the relevant EU services, interested stakeholders and the Horn of Africa Trust Fund (HLTF) Monitoring and Lessons Learned System (including to illustrate through operational examples the mid-term evaluation of the UTF instrument) with the following information

• a comprehensive and independent analysis of the performance of the Sustainable Solutions for the Most Vulnerable Host Populations, Refugees and Migrants in Djibouti action, with particular attention to its intermediate results, in comparison with the expected objectives, and the reasons supporting these results;
• lessons learned, conclusions and associated recommendations, so as to improve, where appropriate, the implementation of the action and potential future interventions.

The evaluation analysed the action according to the five DAC evaluation criteria, namely: relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and impact prospects. In addition, the evaluation followed two specific EU evaluation criteria:

• EU added value (insofar as the action brings additional benefits to those that would have resulted from member states' intervention alone};
• the coherence of the action itself with the EU strategy in Djibouti and under the EU Emergency Trust Fund, Horn of Africa window, with other EU policies and with other actions of member states and donors involved in the sector.

The evaluation team furthermore checked whether gender, environment and climate change issues have been incorporated; whether important SDGs and their interactions have been identified; whether the principle of "Leave No-One Behind", (see https://www.un.org/africarenewal/fr/magazine/avril-

2016/odd-don't-leave-none-behind) and a rights-based approach were taken into account in the identification/formulation of documents and to what extent these were reflected in the implementation, governance and monitoring of the action.

Background: Turkey goes through a long and challenging process which requires alignment of its political, institutional, economic and social structures with those of the European Union. This process inevitably creates apprehensions, debate and intense questioning. Therefore, although this process is expected to take several years, it is important that Turkish citizens understand the benefits as well as the challenges of EU membership.

Overall objective: to communicate the EU's policy objectives in Turkey, in view of providing accurate information on the EU, increasing understanding of the Turkish population of the EU-Turkey partnership and what the EU is doing in Turkey.

Target groups: general public, young people, women, SMEs/Entrepreneurs, sceptics of EU integration (to be identified), multipliers, Civil society including NGOs, Policy makers, Opinion leaders, Economic actors and business associations, Media, including regional and local outlets, Universities and academics, International organisations.

Purpose:

• Promote the EU and its values – in particular civil and political rights - among the Turkish population with a particular focus on identified target audiences, notably young people (under the heading ‘Our Europe, Our Future’), and underline the practical benefits of adopting these values for the Turkish citizens.
• Disseminate information about what the EU is concretely doing for Turkish citizens through its financing instruments to key partners and policy-makers and enhance the visibility of EU-funded projects. This information will include facts and figures about EU funded projects as well as the impact and effect of these projects.
• Promote EU interests in Turkey, whether of an economic nature or aiming at a better understanding of EU policy positions.
• Dispel myths and misconceptions related to the EU and EU-Turkey relations and the accession process.

The overall objective of this programme was to contribute to the strengthening of the peace and recovery process in Côte d'Ivoire with a view to improving and promoting good governance. Situated at the crossroads of the main cross-cutting issues contained in the European Consensus on Development, the GAP supports the strengthening of governance in Côte d'Ivoire through 3 main components:

Axis 1. Support for the implementation of the Public Finance Reform for results-based budget management in line with the WAEMU Budget Reform.

• Component R1.1 - Institutional support to the Ministry of Economy and Finance (MEF) Component
• R.1.2 - Institutional support to pilot sectors of WAEMU reform: Component
• R1.3 - Support for institutional capacity building :

Axis 2. Support for the development of sectoral policies :

Contribution to the development of sectoral policies in certain key sectors that have a direct impact on poverty and the root causes of the crisis (health, education, water, sanitation, national identity/civil status, agriculture, rural land tenure, etc.), in line with the orientations taken in the framework of the WAEMU Reform, as well as in more cross-cutting sectors such as the environment (membership of FLEGT, Forest Law Enforcement, Governance and Trade), or decentralization :

Axis 3. Support for the modernization of the National Statistical System :

Institutional support to the National Institute of Statistics (NIS) in the implementation of the National Strategy for the Development of Statistics:

For the implementation of the GAP, in addition to equipment support granted to the structures involved in the PPPBSE chain and specific support to the Chamber of Accounts in the form of a PD, two technical assistance packages were mobilised, namely

• The Project to Support the Implementation of Results-Based Budget Management (PAGAR) for the "Reform of Public Financial Management" component; and ;
• the Project to Support the Planning and Statistics System (PAPS) for the components "Development of Sectoral Policies" and "Modernization of the National Statistical System (NSS)".

The assessment shows that the problems have been well targeted but less well addressed. Weaknesses were noted at the level of ownership of the programme by the ministries, the institutional anchoring of technical assistance, the synchronization of the two programmes, the monitoring of programme outputs, etc. The evaluation shows that the programme has been well targeted but less well addressed. All of these weaknesses have been identified and documented in the various evaluations and ROMs conducted on the project.

A mid-term evaluation with the main objective of providing stakeholders with an objective and reliable assessment of the implementation of the GAP with conclusions, recommendations, and lessons learned, likely to lead to proposals for updating, improving and revising the programme with a view to better implementation, based on the needs of the country and the performance achieved by the country in the governance sector was carried out from 23 November 2016 to 26 January 2017 by the evaluators of the DECG (Department of Evaluation and Management Control) of the National Authorizing Officer's Unit.

The EPTATF was set up to accelerate the origination of operations in Eastern Partnership countries, and to improve the quality and development impact of the Bank's operations in the region. The establishment of the EPTATF was based on the assumption that technical assistance available at the time was inadequate to support the Bank’s operations in the region, particularly for small projects. It was set up to be complementary to the Neighbourhood Investment Facility (NIF) instrument and resources.

The purpose of the evaluation was to determine the extent to which the EPTATF has helped to improve EIB operations in Eastern Partnership countries since its establishment. Particip was expected to analyse the functioning of the EPTATF, its decision-making process, its governance arrangement and its organisation and performed a review of the EPTATF portfolio of TA operations.

The evaluation work encompassed the following main phases:

• Structuring phase: the evaluation team took ownership of the evaluation framework and approach, further amended and developed it, if deemed necessary.
• Data collection and analysis phase: this phase entailed a thorough desk review, data collection, validation and analysis. The analysis, focussing on 10 case studies of TA operations (at least three in Ukraine, and at least one in Armenia, Georgia, and Moldova) led up to the drafting of the Evaluation Report
• Preparation of the final report: the Team Leader participated in the presentation of the evaluation’s emerging findings to IG/EV and to the Evaluation Reference Group; and then drafted and finalised the Evaluation Report under the guidance of IG/EV

Implementation of quantitative and qualitative research in support of IOM's Transition and Recovery programme in Marib, Hadhramawt, Abyan, Lahj, Aden, Shabwa and Taiz. Result is an analysis report, composed of the following sections.

The Somalia Investment Climate Reform Program (the Project), which was implemented by the Equitable Finance and Innovation (EFI) VPU of the World Bank Group (WBG) sought to catalyze investment and enhance private sector-led economic growth and competitiveness through targeted investment climate reforms in Somalia.
