In the framework of SIEA 2018 Lot 3, the European Commission has awarded the consortium led by Altair with the evaluation of actions under Indirect Management with the Beneficiary Country under IPA II Programme evaluation. The systematic and timely evaluation of its programmes and activities is an established priority of the European Commission. The focus of evaluations is on the assessment of achievements, the quality and – as available at the time of evaluation – the results of Interventions in the context of an evolving cooperation policy with an increasing emphasis on result-oriented approaches and the contribution towards the implementation of the SDGs. From this perspective, evaluations should look for evidence of why, whether or how these results are linked to the EU intervention and seek to identify the factors driving or hindering progress.
