External Evaluation of the 11th European Development Fund (EDF) : (2014 – mid 2017) ; Final Report

This performance review of the European Development Fund (EDF) examines the fitness for purpose of EDF11 with Council regulation 2015/322 on the implementation of the 11th EDF. The EDF focuses on economic, social and human development as well as regional cooperation and integration and is one of nine External Financing Instruments (EFIs) of the European Union (EU). It is governed by the political framework of the Cotonou Partnership Agreement (CPA) between EU Member States (MS) and African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries (79 in total). The EDF11 started in 2014 and runs until 2020 (the end date for the present Cotonou agreement); its total financial resources amount to €30.5 billion. It is financed by direct contributions from EU MS outside the EU budget and is covered by its own legal financial and implementation rules.
