Abstract: The transformative power of the European Union over the countries in the Eastern Partnership is becoming more obvious, both from the perspective of the transfer of institutions, norms, values, practices and public policy instruments, as well as of the exponential participation of beneficiary countries in the EU market. However, some conditionality’s are adequate to the context, while others are quite foreign from the internal administrative culture and practice. Thus, in order for the transfer to be adequate, efficient and effective, the EU is interested in institutionalising a series of practices and instruments connected to evaluation in the Eastern Partnership states. Our communication targets the deepening of the aspects which refer to the use of evaluation in the ENP, as aspects which are connected to making the policy transfer process from the EU towards the countries in the Eastern neighbourhood more adequate and relevant. The stake of the policy transfer is represented by the institutionalization of a real governance framework in all the public and private domains and sectors. To this end, we will direct our analysis on the assistance which was granted to the Republic of Moldova by the EU and on the way in which evaluations have been implemented and have contributed to improving and making the policy transfer more efficient.
