Ex-ante, ongoing and ex-post evaluation – What can we expect beyond 2013 The real impact of EU Funds will be increasingly addressed in the new programming period 2014-2020. After 2013 the evaluation and monitoring rules of the new programming period 2014- 2020 have to be fulfilled. The Commission recommends a much greater use of strict evaluation methods, such as impact evaluation, and demands that plans for ongoing evaluation of each programme shall become obligatory. Therefore, a proper toolkit of evaluation methods is crucial for current and coming activities in EU Funds management. At advanced seminar participants will receive a toolkit of different evaluation methods and learn how to implement them in practice. With special focus on:Evaluation 2014-2020Ex-ante, Ongoing and Ex-post Evaluation RequirementsNew Logical FrameworkMeasurable Goals and Quality IndicatorsEvidence Based Preparation of Cohesion Policy 2014-2020Setting up an Evaluation Plan for the New Programming PeriodEvaluation Criteria and Evaluation QuestionsAdvanced Counterfactual Impact EvaluationHow to Collect Data and Measure Impacts
