Ex-post evaluation of EU assistance to Croatia in the period 2007-2013

Scope: Overall independent assessment and evidence on the contribution of EU assistance in the period 2007-2013 to support Croatia in meeting the Copenhagen criteria so as to facilitate its accession to the European Union. The evaluation focused on capacity development results. It put a specific emphasis on Rule of Law, Economic Governance and Public Administration Reform. It also aimed at providing lessons learned and recommendations to improve current support to enlargement countries. The evaluation adopted a consultation strategy based on the widest possible involvement of the key stakeholders throughout the different evaluation stages. To ensure stakeholders participation an e-survey was launched in the form of an online questionnaire. Direct interviews with key stakeholders were conducted. The study involved a general review of the portfolio of EU interventions financed in Croatia, supplemented by the in-depth analysis of a selection of actions.
