themes:
theme:
Planning and programme design
category:
Organizational issues

comments:
The EU Commission (the donor), and other development actors.
challenges:
In the beginning, the financial institutions were reluctant to share the data needed for the analysis with the EU and the ILO due to concerns about violating data protection principles. Although solutions were found, this caused delays in delivering outputs.
success:
The assessed projects were financed through the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus, and the findings of the assessment remain relevant for the European Union.
context:
This assessment was carried out in cooperation with the International Financial Institutions (IFI), such as European Investment Bank (EIB), European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), which provided the data.
description:
Cooperation with International Financial Institutions should also be planned during the conceptualisation phase to align with their internal guidelines and principles, including data protection. (Source: EU, DG NEAR). At the request of the EU and DG NEAR, METI conducted an assessment of EU-funded projects on investment in public infrastructure, focusing on their short-term employment impact.
administrative_issues:
To build on this lesson learned, similar assessment should be planned in cooperation with financial institutions and other donors planning such assessments.
