Identifying the success factors (indicators)

D1.4 will provide a deeper understanding of the concrete factors furthering the effectiveness and impact of the crisis management missions and operations in the field. Identification of the key issues related to successful coordination and cooperation between the actors can enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of the crisis management efforts in the field of SSR in terms of usage of the resources and achievement of the mission objectives. Once 'effectiveness' has been defined along these lines (including both what was achieved and the way in which it was achieved, including the internal EU perspective as well as the external conflict perspective), a set of 'effectiveness criteria' will be developed to allow us in later WPs to (a) examine different types as well as levels of effectiveness in individual missions, (b) compare these across several missions and regions, (c) draw lessons from past missions to future missions and (d) consider whether 'pooling and sharing' or other such measures can increase effectiveness in this regard. The Task1.4 will consider whether (categories of) conditions - necessary and/or conducive - to effectiveness in civilian conflict prevention and capacity building missions conducted by the EU can be identified, internally within the Union and/or externally outside the EU at the local, national, regional and international levels in which the missions are deployed.
