Monitoring, control and evaluation
Article 5
1. The High Representative shall ensure monitoring of compliance by the beneficiary with the obligations established in Article 3. That monitoring shall provide awareness about the context and the risks of breaches of those obligations, and shall contribute to the prevention of such breaches, including violations of international human rights and international humanitarian law, involving the use of equipment provided under the Assistance Measure. In such cases, the High Representative shall report to the Political and Security Committee (PSC) and propose proportionate measures. 2. The post-shipment control of equipment and supplies shall be organised as follows: (a) delivery verification, whereby delivery certificates are to be signed by the end-user forces upon transfer of ownership; (b) reporting on the inventory, whereby the beneficiary is to report annually on the inventory and state of designated items throughout their life-cycle or until such reporting is no longer deemed necessary by the PSC; (c) on-site controls, whereby the beneficiary is to grant the High Representative access to conduct on-site controls upon request. 3. Taking into account the provisions set out in Article 3(2), the High Representative shall conduct an evaluation, in the form of a first assessment of the Assistance Measure in three parts, six months after the delivery of the equipment to the three companies of the 23 rd Regiment, six months after the end of the first graduating class of the NCO Academy, and six months after the completion of the construction of the training facility in Sévaré-Mopti. The evaluation will entail on-site visits to check the equipment and supplies delivered under the Assistance Measure, or any other effective forms of independently provided information. A final evaluation shall be conducted at the end of the implementation period of the Assistance Measure to assess whether the Assistance Measure has contributed to achieving the stated objectives.
