Evaluation of the European Union’s Co-operation with Kenya : Final Report ; Volume 1

This evaluation covers the European Union’s cooperation with Kenya during the period 2006-2012. The objectives of the evaluation as defined in the terms of reference are (i) to be accountable and to provide the relevant external co-operation services of the European Union (EU) and the wider public with an overall independent assessment of the EU’s past and current co-operation relations with Kenya, and (ii) to identify key lessons and recommendations in order to improve the EU’s current and future strategies, programmes and actions. The following sectors and types of support have been studied in detail: transport and infrastructure; agriculture and rural development; macro-economic support, and; governance, with a focus on support to local governance and Non-State Actors (NSAs). The design and methodology of this evaluation are based on the methodological guidelines of the DG DEVCO Evaluation Unit, which was also responsible for managing this evaluation. A Reference Group in which all main stakeholders were represented, including various EU directorates, the Delegation of the European Union (DEU) in Kenya and the Government of Kenya (GoK) guided the evaluation.
