New EU Structural and Cohesion Funds programmes for the period 2021-2027 are now being prepared, agreed and implemented. Member States are setting up monitoring systems and writing Evaluation Plans for the new period. Are Member States clear about what the New Regulations say about the new monitoring and evaluation requirements?
Programme Authorities continue to conduct evaluations of their 2014-2020 programmes and projects, as well as planning evaluations for the 2021-2027 period. Are Managing Authorities successful in collecting the best possible monitoring data and are they clear about how to measure the impact of interventions? Which evaluation methods should be used – theory-based and/or counter-factual? Should they use ex-post CBA?
This is a webinar over 5 days (mornings and afternoons):
Course methodology
Break-out groups, mini-workshops, exercises and videos will be used to develop simulations of essential elements of evaluation and monitoring to provide a clear view of good practice in the key disciplines involved.
A modest element of home-learning will be included in the seminar, to take place between the teaching days: links to exciting technical videos will be provided, which participants can watch in their own time.
