Good Practice Workshop on “Specific challenges in using common rural development indicators at regional level” – Rome, Italy – 6 & 7 March 2013
The common indicators are used to develop RDP strategies and to monitor and evaluate the effects of rural development policy. The description of the territory, SWOT analysis and needs assessment depend on the availability of appropriate information, and the common indicators play a significant role in this. Data for these indicators is available from official statistical sources such as Eurostat, FADN, etc. at national level, but it is sometimes not available for lower territorial levels. This represents a specific challenge for Member States with regional RDPs which have to provide indicator values at NUTS-II level.
In order to discuss specific challenges in identifying appropriate values for the common indicators at regional level, a workshop was organized by the Evaluation Helpdesk in cooperation with the Ministero delle politiche agricole alimentari e forestali (Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry) of Italy in collaboration with Istituto Nazionale di Economia Agraria (National Institute of Agriculture Economics) – INEA on 6 & 7 March 2013 in Rome. A series of recommendations to improve data availability for rural development indicators at regional and national level was proposed as the main outcomes of the workshop.
