Preliminary study for evaluation of environmental investments for improved water quality in the rural program and investment support for aquaculture in the marine and fisheries program
The evaluation aims to demonstrate the methods that can be used to analyse the effects of program efforts on the presence of phosphorus and nitrogen. The main purpose is to clarify how to evaluate selected initiatives, what documentation is required and what methods can be used.
This report is the internal evaluation of the Flemish Nation Rural Network for 2017, which compares the objectives with the achievements. The overarching themes in the evaluation are: organisation, communication and transnational support. In addition, the report also briefly explains what the Flemish EIP Network did in 2017.
The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, in collaboration with the Flemish Land Agency, has launched a large-scale survey among Flemish farmers concerning agri-environmental climate measures (AMKM). This initial report provides insights into the motivations of farmers choices of whether or not they opt for agri-environmental and climate measures.
In the monitoring scheme for the determination of Slovene Farmland Bird Index we survey 113 plots which are distributed across the farmland in the whole of Slovenia. We surveyed 92 plots in 2017. The composite index of 29 indicator species of farmland birds was for the year 2017 76,1 which is 0.9% more than in 2016. The composite index of the meadow species was in 2017 64,7 which is 2.1% more than in 2016. The trend of Slovene Farmland Bird Index is moderate decline for the period 2008‐2017. The index of meadow species has the same trend. The population trends of 15 out of 29 species are in decline and 10 out of 29 are stable or in increase. The current interannual increase doesn't necessarily mean the turn of the trend yet.
The evaluation addresses the significance of the Mainland Finland Rural Development Programme 2014–2020 for biodiversity and the landscape. The evaluation examined the implementation, effectiveness, and environmental impact of the rural program. The main objective was to answer three Evaluation Questions common to the EU Member States. In addition, there was a national desire to identify the strengths and weaknesses of the various programme measures, and to receive suggestions for development in preparation for the next funding period.
This report summarises the major outcomes of the Good Practice Workshop, 'Appraising Intervention Strategies Under the CAP: Experiences and Outlook', which was hosted by the European Evaluation Helpdesk for Rural Development and the Italian National Rural Network.

This report summarises the major outcomes of the Good Practice Workshop, 'How to report on evaluation in the Annual Implementation Reports: experiences and outlook', which took place on 19-20 September, 2017 in Riga (Latvia).
The aim of the workshop was to provide a forum for the discussion of challenges faced when carrying out the necessary monitoring and evaluation activities related to the AIR submitted in 2017. Furthermore, this workshop provided a space for the exchange of solutions and the engagement of participants to contribute to the simplification and improvement of the evaluation in the AIRs submitted in 2019 and the ex post evaluation.
This workshop brought together evaluators, Managing Authorities, EC representatives and members of the Evaluation Helpdesk team.
Case studies from Slovakia, Finland, and Latvia, and informative speeches from Spain and the Czech Republic were presented during this workshop and are summarised in this report.

This initial report provides insights into the motivations of farmers choices of whether or not they opt for agri-environmental and climate measures.
This document includes the updated fiches for answering Common Evaluation Questions 4 and 6 for the ex post evaluation of RDPs 2014-2020. These fiches have been updated by providing a non-exhaustive list of possible additional evaluation elements that Managing Authorities and evaluators may consider when preparing and conducting the assessment of competitiveness in agriculture.
The purpose of the evaluation was to show the extent to which each LEADER LAG is meeting the objectives set out in its Local Development Strategies.
