Detailed description Back

The global objective of this evaluation is twofold:

• To provide the relevant services of the European Union and the interested stakeholders with an overall independent assessment of the performance of the seven interventions part of the EU4 Human Rights, paying particular attention to its different levels of results measured against its expected objectives and to the reasons underpinning such results; and
• To identify key lessons learned, conclusions and related recommendations in order to inform decision makers on how to improve current and future interventions.

The specific objectives for this evaluation are to identify the factors of success or failure, to assess the sustainability of outcomes and impacts, and to draw conclusions that may inform other on-going and future interventions.

In addition, the evaluation will assess the intervention(s) through an EU specific evaluation criterion, which is the EU added value.

The definitions of the 6 DAC + 1 EU evaluation criteria are contained for reference in Annex III.
