CRIMSON conducting End of Term Evaluation of GoGIN
In May 2021, following consultations with DG INTPA and FPI, CRIMSON launched an End of Term Evaluation of the GoGIN project. The assignment included a number of missions in the field, the first organised by CRIMSON from the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. Experts travelled to Cameroon, Gabon, Cote d’Ivoire and Nigeria to obtain a thorough vision of the work and perception of GoGIN and YARIS. The results of the evaluation will be an instrument of support for the potential extension of GoGIN after its formal end in August 2021.
