The global objective is to increase local CSOs’ capacity to perform their roles as independent development actors more efficiently.
The specific objectives are to: (i) improve CSOs’ capacity in proposal writing, general project management including financial aspects, and the management of EU grant contracts, and; (ii) improve CSOs’ capacity in management and advocacy with particular attention to the Sustainable Development Goals.

The objective of this mission is to provide the stakeholders (EU, Central African Republic, Member States of the Bêkou Fund, the Ministry for the Promotion of Women, Family and Child Protection [MPFFPE], implementing partners, Central African civil society and final beneficiaries) with an overall analysis of the programme’s performance, lessons learned and related conclusions and recommendations.
One of the evaluation’s specific objectives is to help formulate subsequent action on gender to consolidate the achievements and ensure that they last. The analysis therefore focuses on explaining the performance of the action, and its decisive and constricting factors, and should enable forward-looking recommendations to be identified for all stakeholders.
The statement of lessons learned and good practices should act as a basis for the planning of the EU’s future actions and interventions.

This mid-term evaluation intended to analyse the results of the Programme since its inception, following the six DAC evaluation criteria and that of EU added value.
The SAFIRE Programme ( food security, training, insertion, resilience and employment) is divided into three components, respectively (i) Community and institutional resilience for the economic and social insertion of young people and women in Nouakchott, Hodh El Chargui and Hodh El Gharbi, (ii) a socio-professional integration programme for the employment of young people and women in Nouakchott, Gorgol and Guidimakha, and (iii) a support project for the economic and social inclusion and employment stability of young people in Mauritania, in Nouakchott, Brakna, Trazra and Gorgol.
Each of the three components was supported by a consortium (lead organisations: OXFAM, French Red Cross and GRET). In total, 14 NGOs were involved in the implementation of the activities, coordinated by an inter-consortium team of three persons.

This mid-term evaluation is to introduce a rider prior to the next operational Committee in order to revise the log frame and to potentially extend the implementation period of the project up to the second semester 2021. The recommendations should be concrete, operational and directly actionable.
The main users of these two evaluations will be the European Commission (headquarters and European Union Delegations in Burkina Faso and other countries where the International Trade Centre-Ethical Fashion Initiative (ITC-EFI) programme is being deployed; ITC (headquarters); ITC-EFI (programme team) and all related national stakeholders from Mali and Burkina Faso in particular, but also other European social enterprise stakeholders.
