Final Report
The evaluation should support the Commission (TOR, section 3) in assessing the potential gains from working ‘directly’ – or at least ‘more closely’ - with local NGOs (LNGOs) in humanitarian interventions, as compared to the present practice consistent with the Humanitarian Regulation 2 (art. 7-9) of working exclusively with EU-based NGOs, IOs and UN agencies, signatories of the FPA or the FAFA.. The evaluation had also to identify direct and indirect costs and effects of developing direct working arrangements with LNGOs, map (Annex VII) and analyse existing practices of relevant agencies and donors, and provide corresponding options/concepts and recommendations.
