European Commission

The European Commission uses framework contracts to recruit expertise for projects and evaluations in countries benefiting from European Commission external aid. The objective is to provide, short-term technical assistance which can be mobilised at very short notice (normally within 3 weeks, in exceptional cases within 48 hours). The duration of the individual assignments is between 10 days and 1 year. The expertise requested covers the entire project cycle, as well as a number of cross-cutting issues, such as awareness-raising, training, research, and gender.
