Capitalizing evaluations of rural policies and programmes: use, utilization, and knowledge management
Panel Discussion
About the Event
During several programming cycles of the European Agricultural Policy, starting from 1988, important changes have taken place in relation to the vision and role of evaluation in policy making, reforming and implementation.
Since the programming period 2007-2013, evaluation during the programme has been introduced with the purpose of fostering on-going learning and accompanying improvements of programme design and implementation. A process evaluation that became less periodic and more systematic to be better tailored upon the needs for evaluative knowledge of policy makers and programme stakeholders. This evolution of evaluation purpose and practices certainly brought a major awareness and widespread culture of evaluation among programme managers.
The objective of this panel is to share experiences and views on approaches put in use to ensure an effective capitalization and sedimentation of evaluative knowledge over time for the purpose of improving programme design and implementation of public policy, by focusing on:
Uses and utilization of programme evaluation,
practices and methods for knowledge management of evaluation results.
