Ongoing Evaluation of the 2007-2013 Rural Development Plan for Wallonia, phase 2
The ex post evaluation is a focal point of this process, with a report in 2015. However, the evaluator must not only achieve the ex post evaluation with answers to 85 common evaluation questions, but must prepare this exercise upstream, in the spirit of the dynamic in itinere evaluation process.
It is planned to strengthen the existing system of indicators and enhance this system by the collection of other information, including case studies and thematic studies. A series of roundtables and discussions will also be organized with rural development stakeholders to provide answers to the evaluation questions prior to the ex post evaluation. A special focus on the beneficiaries will be made throughout this second phase.
In addition, the evaluator is responsible for the strategic monitoring whose objectives are defined in the Strategic Walloon Plan. The contribution of the Community strategy is an important component. Globally the evaluator has to identify success and failure factors of the plan, to formulate conclusions and recommendations based on observations, as well as to identify possible adjustments which are deemed necessary to improve the plan. The evaluator also participates to activities of the European network for rural development and contributes to the good practices exchanges linked to the evaluation activities.
