Ex-post evaluation of the Sector Reform Contract ENPI/2014/348-701 'Support to implementation of Visa Liberalisation Action Plan'

The object of this evaluation is the Financing Agreement "Support the Implementation of the Visa Liberalisation Action Plan" (CRIS No. ENPI/2013/024-405) which covers the contract ENPI/2014/348-701 funded with monies from that Financing agreement.

The outputs:

The evaluation assesed the project using the five standard DAC evaluation criteria, namely: relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and early signs of impact. In addition, the evaluation took in to account two EU specific evaluation criteria:

the EU added value (the extent to which the project adds benefits to what would have resulted from Member States' interventions only);

the coherence of the Action itself, with the EU strategy in the visa liberalization sector in the Republic of Moldova and with other EU policies and Member State Actions;

The evaluation team considered whether the cross-cutting issues of promoting the human rights, democracy, and good governance were taken into account in the identification/formulation documents and the extent to which they have been reflected in the implementation of the Action and its monitoring.
