Capacity assessment of the preconditions for evaluation of results and impacts of support for broadband in Sweden

This report is part of the evaluation of the broadband investments financed through the rural development program and regional fund programs in Sweden.

The knowledge overview is made to lay the foundation for future evaluations of investments in broadband during the program period 2014-2020. In this program period, there is broadband support within both the rural development program and within three of the regional fund programs. It is important to evaluate these investments for several reasons: they are large investments, they are funded from two different European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI funds), and they have potentially large and important effects on rural development and regional growth.
