BGI Consulting takes part in Ex post evaluation of Cohesion policy programmes 2000-2006 co-financed by the ERDF (Objective 1 and 2): Management and implementation systems for Cohesion policy

2008 04 25
The overall aim of the study is to undertake an ex post evaluation of the management and implementation systems for the ERDF in Objective 1 and 2 programmes (2000-2006) in 25 Member States. As one of a wider set of evaluation work packages, the role of this study is to establish whether management and implementation systems are well–established and functioning efficiently, for the purposes of achieving the goals of EU Cohesion policy, while also contributing to EU sustainable development objectives.
 
The study has five main objectives: 

(i) to establish an overview of management and implementation systems of Cohesion policy and their particularities in each of the 25 Member States; 

(ii) to assess the effectiveness and sustainability of management and implementation systems of Cohesion policy in the EU10, as well as the type, scale and sustainability of spillover effects on the overall institutional and administrative culture in these countries;
 
(iii) to appraise the value added of Cohesion policy in comparison to national policies in the EU15, focusing exclusively on management and implementation systems; 

(iv) to analyse how management and implementation systems support the integration of sustainable development in Cohesion policy programmes across 25 Member States; and 

(v) to carry out 12 ‘mini-case studies’ of good practice.
