dc.description.abstract | The Bosnia and Herzegovina Country Evaluation is an integral part of the Interim and Meta Evaluation of the European Commission’s (EC) Instrument for Pre-Accession (IPA) Component I. The overall objective of this series of evaluations is to improve the performance of European Union (EU) financial assistance. This country evaluation focuses on a sample of two sectors, Quality Infrastructure & Statistics and Social Development, representing 22 projects from the 2007 to 2009 Financing Memoranda (FM) and a total spending of EUR 32.07 million, over 22% of the eligible value of the portfolio. The evaluation methodology consists of an exploration of how the selected sectors have developed since the programming of the associated IPA assistance, coupled with an in depth performance assessment of projects from 2007-2009 to attribute the impact of the IPA to observed changes. The evaluation addresses eight evaluation questions related to effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and impact |
