A new guide on Evaluation of the National Rural Networks (NRNs) in the 2014-2020 period has been made available by the European Evaluation Helpdesk for Rural Development.

The guide includes step-by-step recommendations on the overall process and available methodologies for designing and managing NRN evaluations. It is a non-binding document which complements existing legal requirements on the topic.
