The Evaluation Unit is a unit common to the Directorates-General for Development, External Relations and Europe Aid. The Evaluation Unit is in charge of the evaluation of the Commission's co-operation and development programmes in third countries with the exception of enlargement candidate countries and humanitarian aid. It covers all geographical regions and the corresponding EC external co-operation programmes: Africa, Caribbean and Pacific Countries (ACP), Mediterranean Region (MED), Asia (including Central Asia) and Latin America and Eastern Europe. The evaluation service is accountable to the Group of RELEX Commissioners, which decides on the work programme of the evaluation service and acts on its reports and recommendations. The budget of the Joint Evaluation Unit is determined by the EU Parliament and the EU Commission.
