Final evaluation of GULF OF GUINEA INTER-REGIONAL NETWORK EXTENDED (GoGIN II)

Objectives of the project

Systematic and timely evaluation of its programmes and activities is an established priority3 of the European Commission. The focus of evaluations is on the assessment of achievements, the quality, and the results of interventions in the context of an evolving cooperation policy, with increasing emphasis on result-oriented approaches and the contribution towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

From this perspective, evaluations should look for evidence of why, whether and how the EU intervention has contributed to the achievement of these results and seek to identify the factors driving or hindering progress. The global objective of this evaluation is two-fold:

to provide the relevant services of the European Union, the interested stakeholders and the wider public with an overall independent assessment of the performance of the Gulf of Guinea Interregional Network Extended (GoGIN II), 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 intervention
