2.2 Joint Intervention Logic (JIL)

According to the Methodological Note on TEI Design, ‘the joint intervention logic will lay out the theory of change through which the TEI interventions are expected to deliver their outcomes and impacts’. The logic should be aligned with national results frameworks, when available.

As explained in the Methodological note: The Council Conclusions on Team Europe (April 2021) underline that TEIs need to abide by the principles of transparency and accountability, sustainability, effectiveness and results, ‘do no harm’, country ownership and inclusive partnership’. In addition, good practice dictates that the joint intervention logic should be periodically reviewed to allow for adaptation.

Where a joint results framework exists, the TEI should draw elements to the largest extent possible from it. In practical terms, this may mean that the JIL and the joint programming Results Framework should be used, and even combined, to avoid duplicating country work streams.
