EuropeAid (2011) Terms of Reference for support to the formulation of an EU Integrated Regional Development Programme in Sri Lanka

The Terms of Reference (ToR) outline the requirements for a study on the formulation of an EU support programme aimed at promoting development across the most deprived provinces of Eastern and Northern Sri Lanka. The programme will focus on three main areas: poverty reduction through the provision of basic infrastructure and services for vulnerable populations (core component), economic development, and support to local governance.

The study is expected to support the formulation of the programme in two ways. First, the study will specify and analyse the feasibility of the activities proposed in the identification phase, through an assessment of stakeholders and capacity development. Secondly, in an Action fiche, it will detail the priority areas, the institutional set-up, the monitoring & evaluation framework, the budget and funding allocation modalities.
