For the Justice programme, the European Commission will conduct an evaluation in two parts:

1. an ex post evaluation of the 2014-2020 Justice programme, and
2. an interim evaluation of the 2021-2027 Justice programme.

For the Rights, Equality, Citizenship and Values programme, the European Commission will conduct an evaluation in three parts:

1. an ex post evaluation of the 2014-2020 of the Rights, Equality and Citizenship (REC) programme,
2. an ex post evaluation of the 2014-2020 of the Europe for Citizens (EfC) programme, and
3. an interim evaluation of the 2021-2027 Citizenship, Equality, Rights and Values (CERV) programme.

The combined ex post/interim evaluations will help assessing how the current programmes (Justice and CERV) took account of lessons learnt under their predecessors and how results can be used for further improvement.

As one of the first steps in this evaluation process, two Calls for Evidence are open for feedback until 19 September 2023.
