The co-operation programme applies to the 2025–2030 period, which is in turn divided into two three-year work plans for 2025–2027 and 2028–2030, respectively.
An evaluation will be performed in the middle of the period, on the basis of which the Council of Ministers can choose to make adjustments to the co-operation programme. The evaluation can also be used to provide input in regard to how the work plan for the last period should be formulated.
Regular evaluations are also carried out at the discretion of the Secretary General and the Council of Ministers.
