Evaluation of the EU's engagement with Civil Society in the enlargement, neighbourhood regions and Russia over the period 2007-2018

The overall objective of this evaluation is to provide an assessment of the EU's engagement with Civil Society in the enlargement, the Neighbourhood regions and Russia over the period 2007-2018.

This thematic-level evaluation builds on findings of other recent evaluations on civil society, with a particular emphasis on the Neighbourhood East region, and will generate recommendations for future programming and policy purposes.

The temporal scope of the evaluation from 2007 to 2018; and its geographical scope include countries in the following regional groupings:

IPA beneficiaries: Albania, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Turkey.ENPI/ENI East: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine.ENPI/ENI South: Algeria, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Palestine, Syria, Tunisia.Russia.

The assessment will be against the following evaluation criteria: relevance, effectiveness, impact, coordination, complementarity and coherence, efficiency and EU added value. It looks in particular at:

The proper targeting of the EU's engagement with Civil Society, including outreach and diversification questions, The results of the EU's engagement with Civil Society – in terms of changes supported - over time and against the Commission's strategic objectives, overall and adapted to the three regions (Neighbourhood East, Russia, South and candidates and potential candidates for enlargement), The extent to which differences in approaches and policy frameworks across the regions influenced those results, as well as other explanatory factors, The level of coherence, coordination and complementarity of instruments (geographical and thematic) available to the EU to engage with Civil Society, and its delivery at bilateral and regional levels, The extent to which certain principles were applied in practice, e.g. mainstreaming support to Civil Society within sectoral support

The purpose of the evaluation is threefold: it encompasses the need to demonstrate accountability, promote learning and improve policy and practice in relation to the EC's engagement with Civil Society in the enlargement, the neighbourhood regions and Russia between 2007 and 2018. In essence, the evaluation should:

Identify the key results that have been achieved through the engagement; and assess them in relation to the intended purpose of the support, taking into account those factors which may have either negatively or positively influenced such results. Establish the extent to which the EU's strategic aims were translated in practice.Provide evidence-based recommendations that can inform future policy and programming, including for the Multi-annual Financial Framework (2014-2020 and subsequent).

Evaluation of the European Union's co-operation with Armenia - Country level evaluation (2010-2017)

Landell Mills was contracted to undertake this strategic and complex evalution for DG NEAR.

The main objective of the evaluation was to assess whether and to what extent the various projects and programmes financed by the EU under the European Neighbourhood and Partnership Instrument (ENPI) 1, the European Neighbourhood Instrument (ENI) 2, and the EU thematic programmes in the period 2010-mid-2017 are contributing to the achievement of the strategic objectives of the EU Cooperation with Armenia.

The specific objective was to analyse the overall engagement with Armenia to assess agreements, the co-operation framework and any other official commitments. The evaluation assessed:

The relevance and coherence of European Union's co-operation strategy and programmes in the period 2010- mid-2017; using a dynamic approach looking at issues such as the extent to which the EU support has been responsive to the changes in the socio-economic context of Armenia.The implementation of the European Union's co-operation, focusing on impact, sustainability, effectiveness and efficiency for the period 2010- mid-2017. The evaluation will also take into account the implementation of activities approved prior to 2010 but implemented during the evaluation period, as appropriate, as well as the new programming for the period 2017– 2020The consistency between programming and implementation.The value added of the European Union's interventions (at both strategic and implementation levels).The coordination and complementarity of the European Union's interventions with other donors' interventions and coherence between the European Union's interventions and policies that are likely to affect the partner country/region. The latter is expected to include an assessment of the extent the programmes, financed by the EU, are coherent with the objectives set in agreement with Armenia.

The evaluation took into account areas of bilateral, regional and thematic cooperation (including support through the Neighbourhood Investment Facility) with Armenia and covered the following thematic scope:

Strengthening institutions and governance (including public financial management, public sector capacity building/reform and rule of law)Mobility/Contacts between people (including education, migration and civil society support)Market opportunities (including support to SME development, rural/regional development)Connectivity (including energy efficiency and transport)
