1.  KEY OUTPUTS AND OUTCOMES 

The  ACP-EU  Partnership  is  centred  on  the  objective  of  reducing  and  eventually 
eradicating  poverty,  consistent  with  the  objectives  of  sustainable  development  and  the 
gradual  integration  of  the  ACP  States  into  the  world  economy  (Art.  1  of  the  Cotonou 
Agreement).  The  EU  maintains  privileged  political,  trade  and  development  cooperation 
relations with ACP countries, including Sub-Saharan Africa. 

The European Development Fund (EDF) is the main instrument for providing Union aid 
for  development  cooperation  to  the  African,  Caribbean  and  Pacific  (ACP)  States  and 
Overseas Countries and Territories (OCTs). 

The EDF supports actions in the ACP countries and the OCTs in the following key areas 
for  cooperation:  (I)  economic  development;  (II)  social  and  human  development;  (III) 
regional  cooperation  and  integration;  (IV)  thematic  and  cross-cutting  issues,  such  as 
gender issues, environment and natural resources, institutional development and capacity 
building. 

This instrument, combined with the bilateral activities of various EU Member States in 
the  region,  constitutes  the  most  important  source  of  development  cooperation  for  the 
ACP countries and regions.  
Under the 11th EDF, the EU cooperation finances: 

  Bilateral programmes (47 beneficiary countries are in Sub-Saharan Africa, 15 

respectively in the Caribbean and the Pacific) 

  Regional  programmes  (6  regions:  Southern  Africa  (SADC),  Central  Africa,  West 
Africa and Eastern and Southern Africa- Indian Ocean (ESA-IO), Caribbean, Pacific,  
plus PALOP) 

 

Intra-ACP programmes, aiming to address the shared challenges facing ACP States 
through operations among which support to global initiatives is foreseen (e.g. 
African Peace Facility)

GENERAL OBJECTIVE: Fostering the sustainable and inclusive development in partner countries 
and  regions  and  the  promotion  of  democracy,  the  rule  of  law,  good  governance  and  the  respect  of 
human rights as foreseen in the TEU, with the primary aim of eradicating poverty.

largest over the past two decades. The under-five mortality rate has fallen from 179 deaths per 1,000 live 
births in 1990 to 86 in 2015. Yet the region still faces an urgent need to accelerate progress. Not only does 
sub-Saharan Africa carry about half of the burden of the world’s under-five deaths—3 million in 2015—
but  it  is  also  the  only  region  where  both  the  number  of  live  births  and  the  under-five  population  are 
expected to rise substantially over the next decades. This means that the number of under-five deaths will 
increase unless progress in reducing the under-five mortality rate is enough to outpace population growth.

2.  KEY RESULTS: MONITORING AND EVALUATIONS 

2.1.  Key results 

Following  the  Staff  Working  Document  SWD  (2013)530  "Paving  the  way  for  an  EU 
development  and  cooperation  results  framework",  the  Commission  issued  on  26  March 
2015,  a  further  SWD  "Launching  the  EU  international  cooperation  and  development 
results  framework"  (SWD(2015)80).  The  latter  translates  the  approaches  set  out  in  the 
2013  Staff  Working  Document  into  operational  terms,  includes  the  mechanisms  in 
support  of  the  reporting  process  and  details  the  indicators  of  the  EU  RF  against  which 
DG  International  Cooperation  and  Development  will  report  annually  as  of  2015  to 
demonstrate how funds spent contribute to the achievement of the policy objectives.  

A  results  framework  is  a  tool  that  is  used  to  measure  results  achieved  against  strategic 
development  objectives;  and  which  should  be  understood  as  an  articulation  of  the 
different levels of results4 expected from the implementation of a strategy. With this in 
mind, the list of development sectors covered by the EU RF has been defined to reflect 
the  policy  priorities  of  the  EU  international  cooperation  and  development  assistance  as 
set out in the Agenda for Change in particular. It covers twelve areas and sectors5 and is 
associated to 16 out of 17 SDGs corresponding to EU policy priorities6. 

In that context, the Commission has also been looking at synergies that could be created 
to  facilitate  reporting  on  overall  key  results  of  EU  funded  actions  at  the  level  of 
individual countries.  

Furthermore, the Commission’s services have continued to work on the preparation and 
implementation  of  reforms  of  project  monitoring  and  reporting  which  aim  to  improve 
quality and accountability during and at end of project implementation. This relates both 
to  monitoring  and  reporting  by  the  Commission  services  and  EU  Delegations  and 
external technical assistance used by them. 

A first set of reforms, which relate to external technical assistance, was rolled out over 
the  first  half  of  2015.  The  assistance  is  provided  through  the  new  Results  Oriented 
Monitoring (ROM) system. The new system is characterised by the selection of projects 
based  on  risk  and  those  in  need  of  support  through  the  system.  It  also  applies  greater 
attention to project results during ROM reviews of ongoing projects and programmes and 
provides specific support to end of project results reporting linked to the reporting on the 
basis of the Results framework. 

The  2014-2020  country,  regional  and  thematic  multi-annual  programming  documents 
have been systematically reviewed in order to ensure expected results and indicators are 
of appropriate (measurable) quality and a manageable number. 

4 The results terminology used in this document follows the OECD DAC definition, where the term results 
should be interpreted as covering the results chain from outputs to outcomes and impact. 

5  Inclusive  and  sustainable  growth  and  poverty  reduction;  Good  Governance;  Agriculture  and  Food 
Security; Energy; Public Finance Management; Education; Health; Natural Resources and Climate Change; 
Transport; Employment and Social Protection; Trade Private Sector Development; Conflict Prevention and 
Security 

6  This  means  that  for  several  indicators  contained  in  the  EU  RF  a  corresponding  SDG  target  can  be 
identified.

adopted by end of year to be in force as of 1 January 2015, which puts a stronger focus 
on results to ensure that expected results and indicators are properly included in Action 
Documents. 

Specific provisions on results oriented reporting by EU implementing partners have been 
added in the course of 2014 in the new templates for the Administration Agreement (with 
the  World  Bank)  and  of  the  PAGODA  Agreement  (covering  all  pillar  assessed 
organisations – including UN agencies). This should help to ensure greater availability of 
results data in progress and final reports transmitted by EU implementing partners.  

Second Report on Selected Results of EU-funded projects and programmes 

DEVCO has recently published the second detailed report on selected results of projects 
and programmes financed by the European Union as part of its Annual Report 2016. The 
report  is  based  on  the  new  EU  International  Cooperation  and  Development  Results 
Framework launched by the European Commission in March 2015. This Second Report 
on  Selected  Results  on  data  collected  between  July  2014  and  June  2015  presents  in 
particular  the  aggregated  results  to  which  the  EU  contributed  through  projects  and 
programmes that ended between mid-2014 and mid-2015 and were funded mainly by the 
DCI,  ENI  and  EDF  instruments.  Here  below,  an  extract  is  provided  on  EDF-funded 
projects and programmes.

Good governance is vital for inclusive and sustainable development. EU support in this 
sector is focused on partners’ commitments to democracy, human rights, democracy and 
the rule of law, and to meeting their peoples’ demands and needs. 

In  Mauritius,  EU  support  consisted  of  technical  assistance  to  the  administration 
focussing on developing operational skills amongst Mauritian officials to ensure that the 
elections ran smoothly. There was increased voter turnout (over 73%, compared to the 
53%  of  registered  voters  who  had  voted  in  the  2010  Presidential  elections)  in  the 
parliamentary (Nation Representatives) and municipal elections held in early 2015.  

In 13 municipalities of the North-East Department of Haiti over the period 2013-2014, 
45,000  members  of  853  community-based  organisations  were  reached  by  targeted 
awareness-raising activities on the rights of women, children and people with disabilities 

11 

 
under the Project for Strengthening the Action Capacity of Civil Society Organisations. 
Such activities sought to educate marginalised groups as well as competent authorities on 
decisions  and  strategies  for  the  protection  of  the  rights  of  women,  children  and  people 
with disabilities, as well as to develop a set of specifications on the needs of women of 
the  community  that  would  serve  as  an  advocacy  document  guiding  public  policy.  In  a 
region where trafficking, violence against women and children and discrimination against 
disabled individuals has increased in recent years, EU support under this project made a 
valuable  contribution  to  educating  civil  society  actors  and  helping  them  develop  clear 
common  ideas  about  the  needs  of  marginalised  groups  and  the  social  protection 
framework. 

Conflict Prevention 

EU Results Framework indicator  

Number of individuals benefiting directly from EU-supported 
programmes that specifically aim to support civilian post-conflict 
peace building and/or conflict prevention  

Total results     

2,600 

The purpose of the EU’s development, foreign and security policy initiatives is to create 
a more coherent approach to peace, state-building, poverty reduction and the underlying 
causes  of conflict.  Where conflict  has  occurred, the EU aims to  contribute to  a smooth 
transition  from  humanitarian  aid  and  crisis  response  to  long-term  development 
cooperation and is moving forward on an integrated security and development approach 
such as in the Sahel. 

Sustainable Agriculture, Food Security and Nutrition 

EU Results Framework indicator  

Total results 

Agricultural and pastoral ecosystems where sustainable land-
management practices have been introduced (in hectares) 

Number of people receiving rural advisory services  

Number of people who have secure tenure of land

In  agriculture,  the  EU  aims  to  support  sustainable  practices,  including  safeguarding 
ecosystem services, prioritising locally developed practices and focusing on smallholder 
agriculture  and  rural  livelihoods,  the  formation  of  producer  groups,  the  supply  and 
marketing chain, and government efforts to facilitate responsible private investment. The 
EU continues to work on strengthening nutritional standards, governance of food security 
and reducing food-price volatility at international level. 

Land  tenure  is  important  in  rural  development  interventions  which  emphasise  building 
people’s  endowments  of  assets  so  that  they  can  enjoy  sustainable  livelihoods.  Property 
rights to land, together with labour, form the most common endowments used to produce 

12 

 
 
food for home consumption as well as cash crops that allow the family or individual to 
pay for other needs, such as health and education. 

In  Gogrial  East  County  (Warrap  State)  in  South  Sudan  4,200  people  from  600 
vulnerable  households  participated 
in  various  cash-for-work  activities,  such  as 
production of bricks for the construction of community buildings (e.g. seed bank, school) 
over the period 2012-2015. The cash-for-work scheme enabled most of the beneficiaries 
to  transition  from  depending  on  hand-outs  to  earning  a  living  through  their  labour. 
Payments  were  made  before  the  start  of  the  planting  season,  so  as  to  facilitate  the 
purchase  of  food  items  and  seeds,  and  to  increase  beneficiaries'  food  security  and 
prospects for agricultural income. Vulnerable households were also able to acquire assets 
such  as  goats  and  sheep,  which  enhanced  their  ability  to  withstand  adverse  climatic 
events such as droughts or floods that destroy agricultural production. 

Malnutrition  has  negative  effects  on  children's  cognitive  development  and  school 
attendance, as well as their productivity as adults. In Madagascar extreme poverty rates 
in some regions are as high as 97%, and food insecurity rates as high as 65%. Over the 
period 2013 -2014 the EU supported 220,000 primary school children and teachers from 
food  insecure  areas  in  the  regions  of  Atsimo  Andrefana,  Anosy  and  Androy,  who 
received  approximately  38  million  school  meals.    This  increased  beneficiaries'  food 
security, but also maintained school attendance in the affected regions. 

Energy 

EU Results Framework indicator  

Kilometres of transmission/distribution lines built or upgraded  

Total results 

1,600 

In  energy,  the  EU  aims  to  offer  technology  and  expertise  focusing  on  three  main 
challenges: price volatility and energy security; climate change, including access to low-
carbon  technologies;  and  access  to  secure,  affordable,  clean  and  sustainable  energy 
services. 

In Madagascar, the Ihosy region has faced frequent power disruptions in the past. Over 
the  period  2008-2014  the  EU  supported  a  project  to  provide  access  to  electricity  to 
20,000 inhabitants of the Ihosy region, as well as street lighting and basic public services. 
The reliable supply of electricity will also benefit the development of small businesses as 
well as other new economic activities. 

Education

Support  for basic  (primary  and  lower  secondary)  education  is  the  foundation  for  future 
learning  and  skills  development.  However,  in  2013,  the  number  of  children  and  young 
adolescents out of school stood at 124 million7. Many of these children live in conflict-

affected  areas  or  are  from  disadvantaged  backgrounds  (e.g.  rural  or  remote  areas, 
ethnicity, disabilities, poverty, and girls).  

In Zambia, the EU supported up to 3,135,000 primary school children (1,567,000 girls 
and  1,569,000  boys)  to  be  enrolled  in  school.  Over  the  lifetime  of  the  project,  the 
proportion of children completing primary school rose from 53 per cent to 64 percent.     

Health 

EU Results Framework indicator  

Number of births attended by skilled health personnel

The  EU  is  taking  action  to  develop  and  strengthen  health  systems,  reduce  inequalities 
regarding access to health services, and increase protection against global health threats 
so as to improve health outcomes for all. 

A key policy area  is  enabling  women to  have  access  to  skilled  health personnel during 
pregnancy  and  childbirth,  to  ensure  prevention,  detection  and  management  of 
complications. Assistance provided by trained health personnel with adequate equipment 
is key to lowering maternal deaths. 

In  Somalia,  over  the  period  2011-2014  20,000  births  were  attended  by  skilled  health 
personnel.  Under  this  project,  training  was  provided  to  18  midwives  and  other  health 
staff, which improved their capacity to manage routine emergency obstetric and neonatal 
cases as well as to make referrals of complication to a higher tertiary level of patient care. 
This  resulted  in  lower  maternal  and  child  mortality.  Another  policy  priority  is  the 
immunisation of children under 1 year old, as this is an essential part of reducing under-5 
mortality rates. It is also one of the specific actions to increase protection against global 
health threats.  

Natural Resources, Environment and Climate Change  

EU Results Framework indicator  

Total results

One  of  the  sustainable  development  goals  (SDGs)  is  to  promote  the  transparent 
management  of  natural  resources,  including  raw  materials  and  maritime  resources.  The 
EU is also promoting a ‘green economy’ that can generate growth, create jobs and help 
reduce  poverty  by  giving  value  to  and  investing  in  natural  capital.  This  includes 
supporting market opportunities for cleaner technologies, energy and resource efficiency, 
low-carbon  development  while  stimulating  innovation,  the  use  of  information  and 
communications technologies, and reducing the unsustainable use of natural resources.

Total length of road constructed/rehabilitated/maintained (km) 

Number of people with access to all season roads with EU support 

Total results 

13,110 

5,736,700 

Roads  are  the  principal  means  of  transport  in  the  majority  of  partner  countries  and 
account for 80-90% of passenger and freight transport. Often, roads are the only way of 
reaching  most  rural  communities,  and  they  provide  a  means  of  transportation  that  is 
readily accessible to the most disadvantaged sections of the population. 

However, the development of road networks frequently outstrips the resources available 
to properly maintain them – resources that are estimated at approximately 5-10% of the 
operating  budgets  of  many  partner  country  governments.  The  EU  supports  not  the 
building  but  also  the  rehabilitation and  maintenance  of  the road  network  in  our  partner 
countries. 

Employment and Social Protection 

EU Results Framework indicator  

Number of people who have benefited from VET/skills development 
and other active labour market programmes with EU support 

Total results 

8,000 

Through  capacity-building  and  exchange  of  knowledge,  the  EU  supports  vocational 
training  to  enhance  employability,  productivity  and  competitiveness,  especially  among 
the young, who are more likely to be unemployed because of a lack of appropriate skills 
that match the demands of the current labour market. 

Trade and Private Sector Development

The  EU  supports  the  development  of  competitive  local  private  sectors,  including  by 
building  local  businesses  and  institutional  capacity,  promoting  SMEs  and  cooperatives, 
supporting  legislative  and  regulatory  framework  reforms  and  their  enforcement,  and 
facilitating  access  to  business  and  financial  services.  This  enables  partner  countries, 
especially  the  poorest,  to  harness  the  opportunities  offered  by  globally  integrated 
markets. The EU is helping SMEs to achieve quality certification standards so that their 
goods  and  services  meet  international  standards  and  they  can  reap  the  benefits  of  the 
multilateral trading system.

2.2.  Outlook over evaluations 

Review of the work programme 
The  DEVCO  Evaluation  Unit  manages  strategic  evaluations,8  covering  geographic, 
thematic and sector programs, and aid delivery mechanisms. Evaluations are carried out 
by  independent  external  consultants  who  follow  a  standardized  methodology.  All 
evaluation reports and the responses to their recommendations are public.9 

As  for  what  concerns  the  regions  covered  by  the  EDF,  in  the  period  2014-2015  the 
following  reports  were  published:  Budget  Support  evaluations  for  Mozambique  and 
Uganda,  country  evaluations  for  Cameroon,  Kenya,  Haiti,  Democratic  Republic  of 
Congo,  Togo,  Lesotho,  Timor-Leste,  Madagascar  and  the  Pacific  Region  and  a  joint 
evaluation of the cooperation with Burundi.  

Furthermore, were also published a Study on uptake and a Synthesis of the evaluations of 
General  and  Sector  Budget  Support  undertaken  in  five  countries  (Mali,  Zambia, 
Tanzania, South Africa and Mozambique) over 2010 – 2014, a Strategic evaluation of the 
EU support to environment and climate change in third countries (2007-2013), a Review 
of  evaluations  of  EU  Private  Sector  Development  Support  to  Third  Countries  and  a 
Strategic  evaluation  of  EU  Support  to  Gender  Equality  and  Women's  Empowerment  in 
Partner Countries. 

Overall, the relevance of the EU cooperation is considered as appropriate and responding 
to partner country’s needs. The evaluations recognised the overall contribution of the EU 
to  poverty  reduction  and  demonstrate  how  it  has  addressed  core  development  needs, 
achieving  different degrees of performance. The way EU operate in fragile countries is 
positively assessed, notably its capacity to stay flexible and keep sight of the shorter and 
longer term approaches, addressing both core development problems and emergencies. 

Budget  support  (BS)  is  recognised  as  having  contributed  to  positive  achievements  of 
targeted  development  results.  In  this  context,  the  recent  synthesis  of  BS  evaluations 
confirmed  that  there  is  strong  evidence  of  the  contribution  of  budget  support  to 
improvements  in  public  service  delivery,  within  Public  Finance  Management  systems 
and  with  regards  to  regulating  economic  activities.  Improvements  are  to  be  made  in 
particular  as  regards  policy  dialogue  and  the  utilisation  of  potentials  of  capacity 
development. It also underlines that budget support is not correlated with policy leverage, 
thus confirming the earlier findings from the pilot cases, that BS cannot 'buy' reforms." 

Several evaluations emphasise the need for stronger context and risk analysis, as well as 
the  analysis  of  the  politics  and  policies  shared  among  donors  in  order  to  continuously 
adjust our assistance and the use of various aid modalities. They also recommend paying 
more attention to the political developments. 

8 Strategic evaluations analyse EU strategies from conception to implementation, assessing the results of 
EU funded activities. These evaluations are complex, covering several programmes and instruments over a 
significant  period  of  time.  They  are  conducted  at  several  levels:  country,  region  or  sector;  they  can  also 
assess the procedures and instruments DEVCO uses to provide aid. Strategic evaluations help understand 
why  in  a  specific  context  development  strategies  have  been  successful  or  not,  and  provide 
recommendations to the decision-makers for the future programming and implementation

Synthesis of key lessons learned  

Main findings and lessons learned from Budget Support evaluations 

The synthesis of the five evaluations of General and Sector Budget Support undertaken 
in the relevant countries (Mali, Zambia, Tanzania, South Africa, Mozambique) shows the 
main contributions of Budget Support: Increased provision of Public Goods and Services 
in  agreed  priority  sectors  (in  particular  health,  education  and  roads);  Improved  non-
income  poverty  reduction;  Strengthened  PFM  systems;  and  Improved  Policy  Dialogue 
on Sector Reforms and Systems. 

Main conclusions for Budget Support: 

1.  As Aid Modality Budget Support is best aligned with criteria laid down in the Paris 

Declaration, Accra Agenda and Busan. 

2.  Budget support is no panacea and not applicable in all circumstances (for example 

with an absence of sector strategies; direct improvements of service delivery at local 
level; or local government development), 

3.  Budget support is most effective in situations of partnership based on trust and 

confidence. 

4.  Budget support allows for wider and deeper policy dialogue and eliminates a 

"piecemeal approach." 

Lessons learnt from evaluations in fragile countries 

Overall, there have been good results at sector level, but the impact and sustainability of 
EU interventions are at risk and do not allow for deep societal changes. For the future, 
the  EU  should  undertake  more  rigorous  in  depth  contextual  analysis  including 
institutional  constraints  and  risk  assessment  and  focus  more  on  strengthening  political 
and policy dialogue. It should adopt a comprehensive and flexible approach in order 
to  respond  to  emerging  needs  and  it  should  be  more  realistic  on  the  objectives  to  be 
achieved. Its interventions should focus on capacity building and state strengthening in 
line with the New Deal principles. 

Evaluation of the Global Climate Change Alliance (GCCA)  
An  evaluation  of  the  Global  Climate  Change  Alliance  (GCCA)10  carried  out  in  2014 
showed  a  good  level  of  achievement.  In  most  cases,  GCCA  funds  and  policy  support 
worked  in  synergy  with  climate  change  initiatives  led  by  EU  MS  and  multilateral 
agencies at national level, therefore providing quicker results and lower transaction costs. 
The  unique  complementarity  between  global,  regional  and  national  foci  further 
differentiated  the  GCCA  from  other  climate  actions  and  added  value  to  national 
programmes  and  capacities.  The  GCCA  has  also  led  to  improved  dialogue  on  climate 
change,  both  within  target  countries,  and  at  regional  cooperation  and  global  levels  and 
made  an  important  contribution  to  learning  and  public  awareness.  Other  benefits  came 
from  increased  practical  cooperation  for  reducing  poverty  and  vulnerability.  The 
evaluation  has  also  identified  some  room  for  improvement  e.g.  in  using  more  fully  the 
potential of policy dialogue, including the coordination of European support provided to 
climate change negotiations, Improved policy dialogue is needed given that support for

Islands,  Papua  New  Guinea,  Timor-Leste,  Jamaica,  Guyana,  Haiti,  and  several  countries  in  Africa) 
through  programmes  at  different  levels:  National,  Regional,  Multi-country,  as  well  as  Intra  ACP 
Technical Assistance.

climate  change  negotiations  is  widely  scattered  between  national,  regional  and  global 
actions, and the division of responsibilities is not made clear. A positive outcome would 
be a stronger regional and national ownership of the climate-change agenda. 

Evaluation of the FLEGT Facility11 
The  evaluation  of  the  FLEGT  Facility  in  the  sector  of  forest  law  enforcement, 
governance and trade, concluded that the facility’s work is highly relevant and that there 
are  clear  links  between  the  progress  observed  in  partner  countries  and  the  support 
provided  by  the  facility.    The  Facility  plays  a  key  role  in  providing  expertise  and  in 
managing and sharing knowledge in support of the FLEGT Action Plan implementation. 
Its set-up allows it to respond flexibly and swiftly to the needs and demands of partner 
countries.    FLEGT  processes  are  complex  and  seek  to  address  difficult  technical  and 
governance  issues  requiring  a  mix  of  skills,  few  of  which  are  present  either  with  EU 
Delegations or partner countries. The Facility is instrumental to support partner countries 
in tackling these matters. In general the quality of the expertise and knowledge provided 
is globally recognized.  The evaluation recognizes however that cost-effectiveness can be 
further improved. 

Evaluation of MIEUX12 
In  the  area  of  migration,  an  evaluation  of  the  programme,  while  mentioning  good 
practices  such  as  South-South  cooperation  and  peer-to-peer  coaching  (Programme 
"MIEUX"  –  EUR  8M  aimed  at  enhancing  migration  management  capacities  of  partner 
countries),  pointed  to  several  weaker  aspects,  e.g.  the  need  to  increase  the  capacity  of 
institutions  and  civil  society  organisations  to  better  handle  the  multi-dimensional  link 
between migration and development. 

Enhancing migration governance is a shared responsibility requiring strengthened policy 
coherence  as  well  as  effective  partnerships  between  countries  of  origin,  transit  and 
destination.  Strengthening  migration  management  capacities  of  partner  countries  is 
essential in order to increase the efficiency of their migration policies and support them 
in meeting their responsibilities towards the citizens and migrants they host. This should 
be  done  in  a  comprehensive  manner  covering  all  relevant  areas  including  labour 
migration,  migration  and  development,  international  protection,  addressing  smuggling 
and trafficking and protection of migrants' rights. 

A synthesis on performance information contained in evaluations can be found in annex 
B.1. Annex B.2. lists all evaluations and studies carried out in the reference period.

The  31/12/2013  de-commitments  from  the  8th  and  9th  transferred  to  the  reserves  amounted 
924,155,413.95 €. With the balances of the 10th EDF (73,715,210.30 €) the total available at the 
beginning of the Bridging Facility was 997,870,624.25 €. 

By mid-2013 we forecast a rhythm of de-commitments of 35 M€ per month, on the basis of the 
trend registered during the last months, assuming that the possible decrease in de-commitments 
of 8th EDF would be balanced by the new and growing de-commitments from the 10th EDF.  

In consequence, de-commitments have fed the Bridging Facility gradually, but in a quite irregular 
way during 2014 and first two months of 2015. 

A  total  amount  of  1,630,467,849.91  €  has  been  reached  by  28  February  2015,  after  a  last 
‘cleansing’  operation  of  de-commitments  in  former  EDF.  This  is  the  maximum  theoretical 
amount  that  could  have  been  committed  during  the  transition  period,  although  for  the  last 
recovery of near 23 million there was practically no time to have them legally committed under 
the facility. 

Out  of  that  total  potential  amount,  1,598,118,000  €  have  been  allocated  from  the  Bridging 
Facility to different budget lines to finance priorities within the pipeline. 

Pipeline for the Bridging Facility 

43 

 
 
 
 
 
A pipeline of actions was established at the beginning of 2014 on the basis of the priorities 
identified  by  the  Delegations  and  corresponding  geographical  units.  It  was  adopted  in 
consultation  with  the  EEAS  and  validated  by  Commissioner  Piebalgs  in  March  2014.  The 
pipeline  over  programmed  by 10  %  the  projected  resources,  assuming  that  a  certain  number  of 
actions would have a high risk of being finally delayed. 

The bridging facility allowed the funding of priority actions that could not be postponed until the 
entry into force of the 11th EDF. It covered: 

 
 
 
 
 

The African Peace Facility; 
Intra-ACP joint institutions and ACP secretariat; 
Unforeseen needs such as ECHO and Ebola; 
Support expenditure in Headquarters and Delegations; 
High priorities within national/regional programmes ACP/OCTs. 

It  was  subsequently  reviewed  in  order  to  adapt  to  evolving  needs,  taking  into  account  the 
available  resources  and  the  readiness  of  the  actions.  A  reviewed  pipeline  was  validated  in 
October 2014, taking also into account actions to be funded in early 2015. 

Sound Financial Management of the Facility 

First amounts from the BF were allocated in March 2014, to fund mainly ECHO, the APF, and 
support costs. From May 2014 we started to allocate funds for the national, regional and Intra-
ACP programmes. 

Also  in  May  2014,  in  view  of  the  low  rhythm  of  de-commitments  in  former  EDF  from  the 
beginning of the year, we launched a call in HQ and Delegations to accelerate and close faster 
pending dossiers involving de-commitments. As a result, we recovered much of the funds we 
would  need  in  the  aftermath.  However,  the  summer  break  had  again  a  negative  effect,  slowing 
down drastically the rhythm of de-commitments in September, when we were close to run out of 
reserves (see graphs above). 

In October 2014, a revision of the pipeline as mentioned above and a new call to resume efforts 
in HQ and Delegations led to a quick and impressive recovery of the rhythm of replenishment of 
the  Bridging  Facility.  Since  many  programmes  were  ready  for  commitment  we  entered 
completely in a tense ‘cash-flow’ dynamic to manage the bridging facility. 

We have managed to find a balance in order to comply with different principles: 

-  Ensure availability of credit and a reserve for contingencies (10-20 M€). 
-  Plan a calendar of allocations, depending on the preparation of actions to finance and on 

inflows to the facility from on-going de-commitments. 

-  Keeping the objective of financing properly and fairly the priorities. 
-  Ensuring  a  final  level  of  commitment  as  close  as  possible  to  the  final  availability  of 

funds. 

As a result, credit appropriations have been used in an optimal way, with a soft ‘landing’ of the 
bridging facility at the end of its life:

Final results of the Bridging Facility 

Out of the total allocated amount from the BF during the transition period, we have committed a 
total  of  1,591,572,259.89  €  for  the  ACP13.  The  following  table  shows  the  breakdown  of 
allocations and commitments according to the origin of funds: 

Total 

Allocated 
1,598,118,000.00  1,399,597,882.39 
Committed  1,591,572,259.89   1,399,597,882.39 

Origin 8-9 EDF  Origin 10 EDF 
 198,520,117.61  
 191,974,377.50  

It has been decided to use first all the funds of 8th and 9th EDF origin. The non-allocated balance 
in  the  bridging  facility  belongs  therefore  to  the  10th  EDF  and  it  will  be  allocated  back  to  the 
Performance reserve of the 11th EDF (see schema in annex 1 for better understanding). 

In overall, the Bridging Facility has funded 83 actions in the ACP area. The funds committed had 
the following envelope destination:

Also  during  the  transition  period  5,293,385.15  €  of  STABEX  funds  have  been  transferred  to 
several  national  budget  lines,  of  which  2,227,684.69  €  have  been  committed  (Ethiopia  and 
Mauritania). On the other hand, additional 5,000,000 € have been committed from the interests 
budget  line  to  finance  IT  activities.  These  funds  are  not  accounted  for  under  the  Bridging 
Facility. 

13 Another 3,000,000 € have been committed for the OCT.
