Good Practice Workshops

Good Practice Workshop on drafting terms of reference for ex ante evaluations - Brussels, Belgium - 1 March 2012

According to the new proposals for CAP post 2013, the Member States will have to carry out ex ante evaluations of their new Rural Development Programmes. For the next programming period (2014-2020), there are a number of differences: more detailed description of what should be covered (Article 48 of the draft Regulation laying down common provisions… COM(2011)615), evaluator should be engaged at an early stage (Article 84 of draft Rural Development Regulation COM (2011) 627/final/2) and also the evaluation will have to be carried out relatively early to be included in the partnership contracts (PC), that will set out priorities for investment, resources and targets to be achieved.

To share experiences about the new requirements of the ex ante evaluation and to discuss good practice in drafting terms of reference for the upcoming tendering process in the Member States, a workshop was organised by the Evaluation Helpdesk on 1 March 2012.
