The Technical Cooperation Facility of the Support Measures constitutes part of a financial envelope in the Multiannual Indicative Programme for Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA MIP) which allows DG INTPA unit A.02 for Regional and Multi-Country Programmes for Africa, as well as other DG INTPA Units, EU Delegations (EUDs) and potentially other key stakeholders in Sub-Saharan Africa to make use of technical assistance. Technical assistance is needed to translate through appropriate programme identification, formulation, and implementation the political and strategic priorities formulated in the SSA MIP into concrete activities achieving the intended impact. Technical support is also needed for monitoring of actions and to implement evaluation services to assess the results achieved through the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument – Global Europe (NDICI-GE) support, as well as stakeholder consultations, negotiations, policy dialogue and development related to the EU cooperation under the SSA MIP and its priorities.
