The Technical Support Instrument (TSI) Mid-term Evaluation was released on 12 May 2025 providing key insights on the implementation of the TSI. It was conducted halfway through the TSI’s implementation period (2021-2027) to assess its early progress and impact.
The evaluation covers projects implemented between 2021-2023 in all 27 Member States, scrutinising a total of 611 technical support projects, with an overall budget of EUR 359 million.
The evaluation found the TSI’s implementation to be broadly successful, effectively addressing Member States’ needs and strengthening their administrative capacity. Multi-country projects and flagship initiatives also fostered collaboration and supported EU policy goals. However, the evaluation stresses that achieving long-term sustainable results depends on the consistent and systematic follow-up by Member States on the technical support provided.
