Evaluation of the centralised and decentralised Matra instruments – A seat at the table

The Matra programme is based on the premise that a sustainable, stable society is rooted in a healthy relationship between the state and its citizens. Furthermore, an independent judiciary, accountable to both government and citizens, is considered an essential prerequisite for a legitimate and stable relationship between the state and its citizens. By contributing to this process, the Matra programme aims to limit potential instability and security risks for the benefit of people living in the programme countries, the EU and the Netherlands. IOB has evaluated the centralised and decentralised instrument of the Matra programme during the period 2017-2023.
