Country Level Evaluation Angola : Final Report ; Volume 1: Main Report

This report covers the evaluation of the European Commission (EC) cooperation strategy with Angola and its implementation over the period 2002–2007. The main objectives of this evaluation are: a)to provide the external cooperation Services of the EC and the wider public with an overall independent assessment of the Commission’s past and current cooperation relations with Angola; b)to identify key lessons learned from the past cooperation with Angola in order to improve the current and future strategies and programmes of the Commission. The scope of the evaluation covers the cooperation strategy and its implementation in relation to the National Indicative Programme of EDF9 (including uncommitted balances from previous EDFs), and to contributions from thematic Budget Lines and other cooperation instruments. Humanitarian intervention by ECHO has not been within in the scope of this evaluation but has been considered as the starting point for the Linking Relief, Rehabilitation and Development(LRRD) strategy of the EDF.
