External Evaluation of the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA II) (2014 – mid 2017) : Final Report ; Volume 1: Main report

The evaluation of the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA II), together with the other independent evaluations of each External Financing Instrument (EFI), that of the Common Implementing Regulation (CIR) and the Coherence Report, will be one of the sources of information to feed into the Mid-Term Review Report (MTR) of the EFIs. The MTR is required by the Common Implementing Regulation (CIR) Article 17, by the end of December 2017. The evaluation assesses whether the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance(IPAII)is fit for purpose to deliver EU resources towards EU's external policy, both at start of the planning period (2014) and currently, and will consider the place IPA II –its complementarities and synergies – within the wider set of external financing instruments. The main aim of the evaluation is to provide a comprehensive answer to the question whether IPA II is delivering against its main objective of preparing candidate countries and potential candidates for EU membership and thus if it is fit for purpose.
