Evaluation Policy for EU External Action

This document sets out the Evaluation Policy for European Union (EU) External Action, establishing the principles, roles, and processes that govern how the EU evaluates its engagement with partner countries and regions. 
The policy is an integral component of the EU’s broader evaluation framework, complementing the Better Regulation agenda and aligning with key strategic and legal commitments, such as the ‘evaluate first’ principle and the OECD DAC Evaluation Criteria
