We would like to invite you to nominate a candidate (see point 1) to submit a proposal to evaluate the CEP work programme to grow and develop as an organisation.
The aim is to evaluate and report on the CEP’s internal operational performance in 2024.

The candidate to carry out the audit does not have to be a CEP member (e.g. an employee of the CEP member organisation, individual or associate member etc), however, any external organisation or individual to conduct the audit has to be nominated/indicated by the CEP member.
- Methodology including timeline
The evaluation audit should, as a minimum, include interviews with CEP members with respect to regional balance, CEP staff and Board Members, group consultations, review of documents and other materials furnished by CEP, discussions with partners, stakeholders and experts, questionnaires – all work forms and options that are considered useful and appropriate for the evaluation´s purpose.
