The EU Results Framework (EURF) and the Global Europe Results Framework (GERF) are the corporate results framework for the aggregation of results used to collect and measure key results achieved by interventions funded by external assistance financing instruments of EU international cooperation.
The Global Europe Results Framework was introduced in 2022. The Staff Working Document introducing the Global Europe Results Framework ((2022) 22 final) is available here. The EU Results Framework was first introduced in 2015 and revised in 2018. Both frameworks are in use:
- The GERF applies to interventions financed under Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument – Global Europe (NDICI) MFF 2021-2027
- The EURF applies to interventions financed under MFF 2014-2020
The EURF will no longer be used once all interventions financed under MFF 2014-2020 have ended. For projects developed under DCI, ENI and EDF, EURF is still valid and we expect incoming results.
Which indicators to consider when developing a logframe for an intervention funded under NDICI by MFF 2021-2027?
Any intervention funded under NDICI by MFF 2021-2027, that started after January 2022, should draw upon the set of indicators from the Global Europe Results Framework. Note that some methodological fiches are still under development.
