Description
The evaluation assesses two successive interventions funded under the 10th and 11th EDF National Indicative Programmes, with total funding of 16.5 million EUR over the period 2011-2018. These are:
- Support to Independent Governance Institutions Involved in the Electoral Process, funded under the decision FED/2010/22225 over 2011-2014 with 11.5 million EUR budget;
- Support to Independent Government Institutions Involved in the Electoral Process - Electoral Cycle 2016, financed by the decision FED/2015/038372, over the period 2015-2018 with a 5 million EUR budget.
These Actions aimed to support Independent Governance Institutions (IGIs) in their mandates for sustaining an enabling electoral environment in Ghana over the 2012 and 2016 electoral cycles. The Actions aimed to strengthen the capacities of Electoral Commission (GEC) as the electoral management body, the National Commission for Civic Education (NCCE) as a body in charge of raising citizenry awareness, and the National Media Commission (NMC) as the media regulation body.
The overall evaluation process was led by a Reference Group (RG), comprising of representatives from the Independent Government Institutions (IGI) including the GEC, the NCCE, the NMC, the National Authorising Office (NAO), the European Union Delegation of Ghana (EUD), as well as representatives of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). The Evaluation Manager from the European Union Delegation of Ghana provided a pivotal role in facilitating the overall quality assurance process and ensuring that the evaluation was carried out in line with the Terms of Reference (ToR). The team conducted each evaluation phase in consultation with the RG. The evaluation team revised and finalised the draft final report, considering RG comments and discussions.
