The cooperation programme applies to the period 2025 to 2030, although this period is divided into two three-year work plans, one for 2025 to 2027, and one for 2028 to 2030.
An evaluation is to be carried out at the mid-point of the period, based on which the ministerial council can choose to adjust the cooperation programme and get input on the design of the work plan for the final period.
In addition, evaluation takes place on an ongoing basis at the discretion of the Secretary General and the ministerial council.
