(27 April 2015) – An update of the 2007-2013 ex-post evaluation of more than 300 ERDF/Cohesion co-funded programmes is now available in the evaluation section of the Inforegio website.
This evaluation, in cooperation with the Member States, involves teams of evaluators for 13 mostly thematic evaluations in areas such as SMEs and innovation, large enterprise support, culture, tourism, urban development, social infrastructure, transport and environment.
In view of the scale of the task, surveys and interviews are employed on a much wider scale than before in order to gather evidence of effects and policy learning across all EU Member States. The Commission encourages managing authorities and other stakeholders to cooperate fully with the evaluators. Seminars with key stakeholder on the findings of most of the work packages are also planned.
Progress reports and one final report (and indicator databases) are now online for these 13 work packages.
