The Bkou trust fund was expected to be a coordination mechanism that will enable the international community to contribute in a coordinated manner to the stabilisation of the CAR23. 
Frvaltningsfonden Bkou frvntades vara en samordningsmekanism som kommer att gra det mjligt fr det internationella samfundet att p ett samordnat stt bidra till stabiliseringen av Centralafrikanska republiken23.
The intention was for the Bkou trust fund to Ňmove beyond coordination between Member States and put in place a real joint organisationÓ24, with ideas such as the pooling both of resources and of the capacity to analyse, identify and implement projects, joint missions, a specific unit with staff to coordinate donors and liaise with partners, or common thematic working groups. 
organisation24. Det talas om att samla bde resurser och kapacitet att analysera, identifiera och genomfra projekt, gemensamma uppdrag, en srskild enhet med personal som samordnar givare och hller kontakt med partner eller gemensamma tematiska arbetsgrupper.
There is little evidence that the creation of the Bkou trust fund helped to consolidate donor activity in the CAR along the lines described in paragraph 29, either immediately after its creation or in the intervening period (see Box 4). 
Det finns f bevis fr att skapandet av Bkou-fonden hjlpte till att konsolidera givaraktiviteten i Centralafrikanska republiken enligt de linjer som beskrivs i punkt 29, varken omedelbart efter skapandet av den eller drefter (se ruta 4).
Donor activity outside the fund has remained at a similar level since 2014 or even increased in some cases (see also paragraphs 55 to 61 for the involvement of other donors). 
Givaraktiviteten utanfr fonden har legat p nstan samma niv sedan 2014 eller till och med kat i ngra fall (se ven punkterna 55Đ61 fr andra givares deltagande).
The fund management identified the fragmentation of aid instruments and actors in the CAR as a major challenge. 
Fondens ledning sg fragmenteringen av bistndsinstrument och aktrer i Centralafrikanska republiken som en stor utmaning.
Coordination mechanisms for development aid in the CAR were not functioning by the end of 2016. 
Samordningsmekanismerna fr utvecklingsbistnd i Centralafrikanska republiken fungerade inte i slutet av 2016.
The CAR authorities and the donor community are in the process of setting up an institutional framework for implementing development aid under the national recovery and peacebuilding plan adopted in October 201625. 
institutionell ram fr att genomfra utvecklingsbistnd inom den nationella planen fr terhmtning och fredsbyggande25.
This framework will include an aid coordination mechanism which will assign a decision-making role to the Ezingo UN trust fund and a possible future World Bank trust fund, and only a consultative role to the Bkou trust fund. 
Ramen kommer att ha en mekanism fr bistndssamordning dr FN:s frvaltningsfond Ezingo och Vrldsbankens eventuella framtida frvaltningsfond tilldelas rollen som beslutsfattare och Bkou-fonden bara fr en rdgivande roll.
The Bkou trust fund does not have defined procedures for ensuring the systematic coordination of its projects with those of other donors to the fund. 
Frvaltningsfonden Bkou har inga faststllda frfaranden fr att skerstlla att dess projekt systematiskt samordnas med projekt som drivs av andra givare till fonden.
The fund created coordination mechanisms in the form of its own governance structures (the trust fund board and the operational committee). 
Fonden skapade samordningsmekanismer som motsvarade dess egen frvaltningsstruktur (fondens styrelse och operativa kommitt).
Even though one of the committeeŐs roles is to adopt projects, it did not facilitate discussions on coordination with other projects financed by the 25 19 Box 4Đ Some donors have increased their activity outside the fund since 2014 Germany is increasing its bilateral activity in the CAR. 
Trots att en av kommittns uppgifter r att anta projekt underlttade den inte diskussioner om samordning med andra projekt som finansierades av Bkou-fondens givare.
Programming documents are not systematically prepared using a full overview of other projects in the same field. 
Programdokument utarbetas inte systematiskt med hjlp av en fullstndig versikt ver projekt inom samma omrde.
Even without formal mechanisms, the representative of the Bkou trust fund in Bangui did, by way of good practice, ensure some coordination on a project-by-project basis (see Box 5). 
Men ven utan formella mekanismer hade Bkou-fondens fretrdare i Bangui som god praxis att se till att det skedde viss samordning av enskilda projekt (se ruta 5).
However, there is room for the Bkou trust fund to provide more systematic coordination, both internally amongst its donors and, potentially, externally within the international community. 
Bkou-fonden skulle dock kunna tillhandahlla mer systematisk samordning, bde internt bland sina givare och, potentiellt, externt inom det internationella samfundet.
20 Box 5Three good-practice examples of donor coordination of projects Synergies were created between the Bkou trust fund project on economic recovery and two projects financed by the development agency of an EU Member State. 
20 Ruta 5 Đ Tre exempel p god praxis nr det gller givarsamordning av projekt Synergier skapades mellan Bkou-fondens projekt om ekonomisk terhmtning och tv projekt som finansierades av ett bistndsorgan i en EU-medlemsstat.
Even though there was little coordination at the project design stage, coordination did take place after the project launch in 2016. 
Samordning skedde endast i liten grad nr projektet utformades men frekom nr projektet hade inlett sin verksamhet 2016.
Several meetings were organised between the agency, the representative of the Bkou trust fund in Bangui, and the implementing organisations, to discuss ways to create synergies between the three projects. 
Det organiserades flera mten med bistndsorganet, Bkou-fondens fretrdare i Bangui och genomfrandeorganisationerna fr att diskutera stt att skapa synergier mellan de tre projekten.
In October 2016, the representative of the Bkou trust fund in Bangui brought together donors and the CAR authorities in a workshop on food security. 
I oktober 2016 samlade Bkou-fondens fretrdare i Bangui givare och myndigheter i Centralafrikanska republiken i en workshop om livsmedelstrygghet.
There is some evidence that the Bkou trust fund acts in coordination with the CAR authorities (see Box 5 for an example). 
Det finns ngra belgg fr att Bkou-fonden samordnar sina aktioner med myndigheterna i Centralafrikanska republiken (se exemplet i ruta 5).
The CAR government envisages expanding its role in the future management of the fund, by making a more systematic contribution to the design, implementation and monitoring of its projects. 
Regeringen i Centralafrikanska republiken planerar att utvidga sin roll i den framtida administrationen av fonden genom att mer systematiskt bidra till utformningen, genomfrandet och vervakningen av fondens projekt.
Procedures could be more transparent, rapid and cost-effective 36. 
Frfarandena skulle kunna vara ppnare, snabbare och kostnadseffektivare 36.
The Financial Regulation26 stipulates that trust funds should be implemented in accordance with the principle of transparency. 
Budgetfrordningen26 freskriver att frvaltningsfonder ska genomfras i enlighet med principen om ppenhet.
The Financial Regulation also stipulates that a maximum of 5 % of the amounts pooled into a trust fund can be used to cover its management costs. 
Budgetfrordningen freskriver ocks att hgst 5 % av de belopp som sammanfrs i en frvaltningsfond fr tas i ansprk fr att tcka kostnaderna fr att administrera den.
We assessed the transparency and speed of selection procedures and the cost-effectiveness of the Bkou trust fund compared to other aid channels.

Transparency of selection procedures 37. The procedures applied by the Bkou trust fund in selecting implementing organisations for projects have not been formalised in the guidelines on EU trust funds. 
De frfaranden som Bkou-fonden tillmpade fr att vlja ut organisationer som skulle genomfra projekt har inte formaliserats i riktlinjerna fr EU:s frvaltningsfonder.
The procedures followed were based on those prescribed in ÔProcurement and Grants for European Union External Actions Đ A Practical GuideŐ (PRAG)27, with some additional exceptions. 
Frfarandena byggde p dem som beskrivs i Procurement and Grants for European Union External Actions Đ A Practical Guide (praktisk handledning fr upphandlingsfrfaranden inom ramen fr externa tgrder) (Prag)27, med ngra undantag.
Apart from a limited number of service contracts, the Bkou trust fund has used three different methods for selecting organisations to implement projects: four delegated cooperation agreements, ten direct awards and twelve awards following a restricted call for expressions of interest28. 
Frutom fr ett begrnsat antal tjnstekontrakt har Bkou-fonden anvnt tre olika metoder fr att vlja ut organisationer som ska genomfra projekt: fyra verenskommelser om delegerat samarbete, tio direkta tilldelningar och tolv tilldelningar efter selektiva inbjudningar att anmla intresse28.
Definitions of each, and their corresponding advantages and disadvantages, can be found in Table 1. 
Definitioner av var och en, med respektive fr-och nackdelar, finns i tabell 1.

In total, we audited the selection procedures for 26 contracts. 
Vi granskade urvalsfrfarandena fr totalt 26 kontrakt.
Three of the other five contracts were service-related (contracts 7, 8 and 29) and the other two were awards in the Health II programme (contracts 12 and 14), where the selection procedures were still ongoing at the end of 2016. 
Tre av de vriga fem kontrakten gllde tjnster (kontrakt 7, 8 och 29), och de vriga tv tilldelades inom programmet Hlsa II (kontrakt 12 och 14), fr vilket urvalsfrfarandena fortfarande pgick i slutet av 2016.

Consequently, it was not fully transparent how the implementing organisations were chosen. 
Valet av genomfrandeorganisationer var drfr inte helt ppet.
The use of delegated cooperation agreements is mentioned in Article 10 of the Constitutive Agreement, which states that these Ňshall be the preferred option wherever it will offer an appropriate response in terms of the cost, effectiveness and European visibility of the Fund-financed actionsÓ. 
Anvndningen av verenskommelser om delegerat samarbete nmns i artikel 10 i inrttandeavtalet dr det sgs att sdana verenskommelser ska vara det frsta alternativet nr de erbjuder en lmplig respons i frga om kostnad, ndamlsenlighet och EU-synlighet fr de fondfinansierade tgrderna.
However, while the organisations selected were experts in the fields in question, no justifications for the use of these organisations were prepared, in particular at the time of their approval. 
De utvalda organisationerna var experter p de aktuella omrdena, men anlitandet av dem motiverades inte, i synnerhet inte nr de godkndes.

The others were awarded following reviews of the organisations already present in the CAR and their respective capabilities. 
De vriga tilldelades efter en genomgng av de organisationer som redan var verksamma i Centralafrikanska republiken och deras kapacitet.
However, we identified one case in particular where, because there was more than one organisation capable of carrying out the work, a more competitive procedure could have been applied30. 
Vi identifierade dock srskilt ett fall dr mer n en organisation hade kapacitet att utfra arbetet och dr ett mer konkurrensutsatt frfarande kunde ha tillmpats30.
As a result, it is not evident how the implementing organisations were selected.

The flexibility provisions applicable to the Bkou trust fund could provide opportunities to save time compared to the more traditional approaches applied in the Commission. 
De bestmmelser om flexibilitet som gller fr frvaltningsfonden Bkou gjorde det mjligt att spara tid i jmfrelse med de mer traditionella metoder som tillmpas inom kommissionen.
The structure and decision-making process applied, together with the relatively short time the fund has been in existence, limits the scope for any meaningful comparison with the procedures in place for other EU aid. 
Den struktur och process fr beslutsfattande som tillmpades, och den relativt korta tid som fonden har funnits, begrnsar mjligheten till en meningsfull jmfrelse med de frfaranden som anvnds fr annat EU-bistnd.
Nevertheless, we identified some instances where time could have been saved in selecting implementing organisations. 
Trots det identifierade vi ngra tillfllen nr man kunde ha sparat tid vid valet av genomfrandeorganisationer.
One example where the Bkou trust fund could have saved additional time during the selection procedure was when discussing project content with organisations. 
Ett exempel p att Bkou-fonden kunde ha sparat mer tid under urvalsfrfarandet var nr projektens innehll diskuterades med organisationerna.
For all three types of procedure used, the length and number of discussions held could have been reduced. 
Diskussionernas lngd och antal kunde ha minskats fr alla tre typerna av frfarande som anvndes.
In 14 of the 26 awards, project content was discussed for more than 100 days. 
Fr 14 av de 26 tilldelningarna diskuterades projektens innehll i ver 100 dagar.
Conflicts of interest could arise as it is the operational committee that initially selects projects for funding: these projects can be awarded to organisations whose personnel sit on the operational committee. 
Diskussionerna efter 29 30 31 Intressekonflikter kunde uppst eftersom det r den operativa kommittn som frst vljer ut projekt fr finansiering: projekten kan tilldelas organisationer vars personal sitter i den operativa kommittn.
While the discussions following the restricted calls for expression of interest took an average of only 50 days, those for delegated cooperation agreements and direct awards averaged 197 and 245 days respectively. 
selektiva inbjudningar att anmla intresse tog i genomsnitt endast 50 dagar, men verenskommelserna om delegerat samarbete och de direkta tilldelningarna diskuterades i genomsnitt 197 respektive 245 dagar.
Had discussions been carried out in a different way, the agreements could have been finalised sooner. 
Om diskussionerna hade frts p ett annat stt skulle verenskommelserna ha kunnat slutfras tidigare.
For example, some issues were returned to by different Commission staff, resulting in a high volume of exchanges between both parties. 
Till exempel kom ngra frgor tillbaka till andra kommissionsanstllda, vilket ledde till omfattande kontakter mellan bda parter.
Increased liaison between Commission staff prior to these exchanges could have shortened these discussions. 
Om kommissionens personal hade haft mer kontakt fre diskussionerna kunde de ha gtt snabbare.
In five cases, as a result of the extensive discussions, it was actually necessary to approve expenditure retroactively33. 
De omfattande diskussionerna ledde i fem fall till att det faktiskt blev ndvndigt att godknna utgifter retroaktivt33.
Cost-effectiveness of delivering the aid 46. 
Kostnadseffektiviteten i tillhandahllandet av bistnd 46.
UN organisations, the World Bank and the African Development Bank all levy different fees for managing trust funds. 
FN-organisationerna, Vrldsbanken och Afrikanska utvecklingsbanken tar alla ut olika avgifter fr att administrera frvaltningsfonder.
None provide for a percentage lower than the 5 % as prescribed for the Bkou trust fund34. 
Ingen tar ut mindre n de 5 % som Bkou-fonden tar ut34.
For other EU external aid under the EDF and the general budget, overall rates above 5 % are also charged. 
Fr EU:s vriga bistnd till tredjelnder frn EUF och den allmnna budgeten tillmpas generellt ocks avgifter p ver 5 %.
This means that the total costs incurred for the fundŐs management are higher than those reported in the fundŐs accounts. 
Det betyder att de totala kostnaderna fr fondens administration r hgre n de kostnader som rapporteras i fondens rkenskaper.
The full costs for managing the Bkou trust fund have not been calculated. 
De totala kostnaderna fr administrationen av frvaltningsfonden Bkou har inte berknats.
These issues have been confirmed by an internal Commission audit. 
Detta har bekrftats vid en intern revision gjord av kommissionen.

UN organisations are entitled to recover indirect programme support cost at a rate of 7 % of the amount pooled into a trust fund, plus an additional administrative fee of 1 %. 
FN-organisationerna har rtt att ta ut indirekta kostnader fr programstd p 7 % av de sammanfrda beloppen i en frvaltningsfond, plus en ytterligare administrationsavgift p 1 %.
The World Bank charges standard or customised fees, the standard fee being a minimum of 5 %. 
Vrldsbanken tar ut standardiserade eller mottagaranpassade avgifter, dr standardavgiften r minst 5 %.
The African Development Bank currently charges a minimum 5 % fee. 
Afrikanska utvecklingsbanken tar fr nrvarande ut en avgift p minst 5 %.
In addition to the Bkou trust fundŐs fee, contracted international organisations and NGOs charge their own administrative fees.

This is generally a percentage of the contract value, set at a maximum of 7 %. 
I allmnhet r det en procentandel av kontraktsvrdet och hgst 7 %.
However, they can further delegate tasks in the contract implementation to other organisations, thus adding additional layers of administrative costs. Delegated cooperation agreements, in particular, are a costly solution, as they automatically create an additional layer of management costs (see Table 1 above). 
De kan dock vidaredelegera uppgifter inom kontraktsgenomfrandet till andra organisationer och p s stt lgga till ytterligare lager av administrativa kostnader. verenskommelser om delegerat samarbete r en srskilt dyr lsning eftersom de automatiskt skapar ytterligare ett lager administrationskostnader (se tabell 1 ovan).
The benefits of using this type of funding should always be weighed against the additional costs. 
Frdelarna med att anvnda den hr typen av finansiering ska alltid vgas mot de ytterligare kostnaderna.
Article 3.8 of the Constitutive Agreement envisages that all Bkou trust fund staff will ultimately be based in Bangui. 
Enligt artikel 3.8 i inrttandeavtalet r slutmlet att Bkou-fondens hela personal ska vara baserad i Bangui.
Currently, only one representative of the fund is based in Bangui, whereas seven staff members were Brussels-based in 2016. 
Fr nrvarande r endast en fretrdare fr fonden baserad i Bangui, och sju medlemmar av personalen var baserade i Bryssel 2016.
The number of expatriates based at the EU delegation is limited due to the current security situation. 
Antalet utstationerade anstllda vid EU-delegationen r begrnsat p grund av det rdande skerhetslget.
As the situation in the CAR improves, this number is expected to increase. There is as yet no calculation to determine whether a complete transfer of staff to the CAR can be achieved within the 5 % cap (see paragraph 36)35. 
Ingen berkning har nnu gjorts av om en fullstndig verfring av personalen till Centralafrikanska republiken kan ske under 5 %-taket (se punkt 36)35. vervaknings-och utvrderingsmekanismer r nnu inte fullt utvecklade 50. vervaknings-och utvrderingsmekanismer r viktiga fr att man ska kunna bedma fondens resultat och vid behov vidta korrigerande tgrder.
Given that the Bkou trust fund was the first EU trust fund managed by the European Commission, it can provide valuable lessons for the future use of this type of aid vehicle. 
Eftersom Bkou-fonden r EU:s frsta frvaltningsfond som administreras av Europeiska kommissionen kan den ge vrdefulla erfarenheter fr den framtida anvndningen av den hr typen av bistndsform.
The Bkou trust fund has no framework to measure its performance at fund level, since it has not drawn up a comprehensive results chain for its overall objective, spelling out expected results (outputs, outcomes, impact), with corresponding indicators36. For instance, 35 36 26 The costs incurred in basing agents in a delegation are higher than the costs of the same in Brussels. 
Frvaltningsfonden Bkou har ingen ram fr att mta resultat p fondniv eftersom den inte har upprttat en heltckande resultatkedja fr sitt vergripande ml med tydligt 26 35 Det kostar mer att basera personal vid en delegation n i Bryssel. angivna frvntade resultat (output, utfall och effekter) och tillhrande indikatorer36.
whereas the Constitutive Agreement and other documents give an indication of what might be expected of it (strengthen resilience, improve coordination, deliver aid more quickly, mobilise a critical mass of financing, provide political visibility), these elements have not been developed into SMART objectives37. 
Inrttandeavtalet och andra dokument ger en indikation p vad fonden frvntas gra (strka motstndskraften, frbttra samordningen, tillhandahlla std snabbare, mobilisera en kritisk massa av finansiering och ge politisk synlighet), men dessa komponenter har inte omvandlats till Smart-ml37.
