Sigma Multi-Beneficiary Programme : Phare Ex Post Evaluation. Phase 1, Multi- Beneficiary Programmes: Sigma

This Ex-post Evaluation Report has been prepared by the MWH Consortium between August and October 2005, and reflects the situation of the Phare assistance provided through the Sigma multi-beneficiary programmes between 1996 and 2004. It examines the performance of Sigma in addressing the programme objectives and intended results, provides a general assessment of the programme and draws conclusions and lessons learned from approximately 10 years of Sigma assistance. The evaluation is based on an analysis of documents produced at the start, during and on completion of the Sigma programmes, on the results of questionnaires and on interviews with EC Services, the Sigma team at the OECD, project beneficiaries, and National Aid Coordination Units.
