European implementation assessment
Metadados da publicação
This study evaluates the performance of the EU external financing instruments (EFIs) in the light of the European Commission’s mid-term review and discussions on the post- 2020 architecture for such instruments. The evaluation finds that the existing architecture and geographic/thematic coverage of the EFIs has, overall, been relevant to the EU policy objectives set in 2014, and provided added value, but has been less responsive than hoped to recipients’ needs. Adaptations made to the design of the instruments have enhanced the EFIs’ results, but they have faced recurrent implementation weaknesses (e.g. limited political steering, lack of flexibility, and capacity issues, as well as disagreements with partner countries). Lessons across all EFIs include the need to do more to tackle interlinked global challenges; to adapt instruments to improve leverage of EU-supported reforms; to ensure the availability and transparency of EU funds; and to strengthen the monitoring and scrutiny of EU funds. This study provides options for tackling these limitations and, in the annexed external expert paper, recommendations for how the EU can engage with civil society in recipient countries more effectively. The study addresses the need to simplify aspects of the EFIs, ensure the sustainability of EU action, and strengthen the flexibility of the EFIs while remaining consistent and committed to the EU’s fundamental values, create multi-actor partnerships, link EU action to EU strategies, and strengthen EU strategic communication.
