The Action to be evaluated
The overall objective of PAANE is improving governance and citizenship in Mozambique for sustainable economic and social development and poverty reduction. The programme purpose, or specific objective, is “to strengthen mutual accountability between non-state actors, public authorities and citizens in Mozambique".
The main objectives of this evaluation are to provide the relevant services of the European Union, the interested stakeholders with: an overall independent assessment of the past performance of the PAANE, paying particular attention to its mid-term evaluation results measured against its objectives; key lessons and recommendations in order to improve current (if relevant) and future Actions.
This evaluation will serve to understand the overall impact of the Action in order to give positive
and very practical advises for making the PAANE II as much as possible oriented to improve
citizenship and democracy.
Scope of the evaluation: The evaluation will assess the Action using the five standard DAC evaluation criteria, namely: relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and perspectives of impact. In addition, the evaluation will assess two EU specific evaluation criteria:
the EU added value (the extent to which the Action adds benefits to what would have resulted from Member States' interventions only);
the coherence of the Action itself, with the EU strategy in the country/sector and with other EU policies and Member State Actions, [and other donors].
