The framework contract to evaluate European Community support to selected regional cooperation and economic integration initiatives as well as aspects of coherence, coordination, complementarity and policy mix on that area has been attributed to our consortium in August 2005.

This contract with EuropeAid Office for Co-operation has been signed for one year and is renewable twice.

Under the previous contract, the consortium -lead by DRN- carried out the evaluation of several regional integration initiatives such as the evaluation of Community support to the Caribbean region, to Mercosur (South America), to the CARDS programme (Balkans), to ECOWAS (West Africa). Some of these evaluations are on going. Completed evaluations are posted on the website of EuropeAid Office for Co-operation.
