Article 21 Annual implementation report
United Kingdom
The Territorial Authorising Officer shall submit annual implementation reports to the Commission within three months of the end of each full year of implementation from the adoption of the SPD.
The annual implementation report on the SPD shall consist of a joint assessment of the implementation of the programme and take into account the results of the relevant activities of monitoring and evaluation.
This report shall be made locally and shall be finalised between the Territorial Authorising Officer, the Monitoring Committee and, if applicable, the Head of Delegation concerned within a period of 60 days.
It shall in particular include an assessment of:
the results achieved in the focal sector(s) measured against the identified targets and impact indicators and sectoral policy commitments;
any projects and programmes outside the focal sector(s) and/or part of multi-annual programmes;
the use of any resources set aside for non-State actors;
the effective implementation of current operations and the extent to which the timetable for commitments and payments has been met; and
any extension of programming to cover the years ahead.
Where appropriate, an annual review shall be carried on the basis of the report at the occasion of a partnership meeting, as laid down in Article 7 of the Overseas Association Decision.
