External Evaluation of the Greenland Decision : (2014 – mid 2017) ; Final Report

This evaluation of the Greenland Decision (GD) will feed into the Mid-Term Review of the European Union’s 2014-2020 External Financing Instruments (EFIs), taking place in 2017. The evaluation assesses whether the instrument is fit for purpose to deliver EU resources in keeping with the EU‘s external policy, both at the start of the planning period (2014) and currently. It also considers the place of the instrument − its complementarities and synergies − within the wider set of external financing instruments. The GD (Council Decision 2014/137/EU), which is the instrument governing relations between Greenland, Denmark and the EU, is unique. Its foundation is a political agreement by the Council, with the aim of preserving the close and lasting ties between the parties after Greenland left the European Community and became associated with the EU as an Overseas Country and Territory (OCT) in 1985. During the period 2014-2020, the EU will use the GD framework to channel €217.8 million to Greenland. The potential areas for policy dialogue and collaboration mentioned in the GD are education, natural resources (including raw materials), energy, climate, Arctic issues, social sector, and research/innovation. The programming document pinpoints education as the focal sector.
