- Observations -- Devolution has contributed to an overall improvement in aid delivery -- Devolution has contributed to improving the speed of delivery, the commission being able to both commit and also disburse increasing volumes of funding -- Although some indicators point to improvements in the quality of aid, the commission's systems for assessing quality do not allow firm conclusions to be drawn -- Financial management procedures implemented since devolution are increasingly robust -- While devolution has contributed to improving the aid delivery, it is not bringing all the benefits it could, especially in relation to improving quality -- There is still scope for the commission to improve its allocation and use of human resources in delegations -- Commission's headquarters have only a limited capacity to support delegations in improving quality despite the significant efforts made by EuropeAid -- Monitoring, reporting and evaluation are not yet sufficiently developed in relation to aid quality and financial management
