Summary:

"Evaluation and results-oriented monitoring (ROM) are part of EuropeAid's results accountability framework. The Court found that EuropeAid's evaluation and ROM systems are not sufficiently reliable. Overall, evaluation and ROM functions are well organised. However, some weaknesses in the design and implementation of the systems reduce EuropeAid's capacity to assess and report on EU's policy achievements."--Page [4] of cover.
