Study - Assessing policy coherence for development across internal and external EU policies: A call for action - Ex-post evaluation - 20-11-2024

On 24 October 2023, the coordinators of the Committee on Development (DEVE) requested a study on implementation of policy coherence for development (PCD) in selected legislation. This ex-post evaluation seeks to support the PCD standing rapporteur's work and the DEVE committee's newly formed PCD Network. The focus of the study is how and to what extent PCD has been implemented in internal and external EU policies to support poverty reduction (and eradication) and development cooperation. The first part, written internally, offers an institutional perspective of PCD implementation. It assesses the guidelines, toolkits and methods that the EU institutions have developed for designing and applying PCD. It also examines Parliament's PCD oversight role and draws lessons on how to improve PCD design and implementation. Two externally prepared case studies evaluate if and how PCD was considered in the design and implementation of (i) the Conflict Minerals Regulation and its accompanying measures, and (ii) policies to facilitate legal pathways to EU migration. They also analyse whether PCD implementation in these two cases has influenced the design of other EU policies, and provide recommendations. Source : © European Union, 2024 - EP
