The Global Climate Change Alliance was established in 2007 by the communication from the European Commission to the Council and the European Parliament “Building a Global Climate Change Alliance between the European Union and poor developing countries most vulnerable to climate change”.

The evaluation team assesses the past performance of the programme;

• Identify GCCA added value, key lessons and propose practical recommendations for follow-up actions
• Provide information useful for the formulation of the GCCA+
• Recommend how the GCCA+ could be an effective EU flagship programme
• Assess the added value of establishing a trust fund for the GCCA+.

The evaluation covers 5 ACP countries and 7 GCCA Global programmes.
