Good Practice Workshops
Good Practice Workshops are meetings open to evaluation stakeholders to exchange experiences on specified topics, to provide a forum for discussion of good practices and lessons learned, and to identify and assess approaches to improve evaluation practice.
Objectives
- Increase the evaluation knowledge of stakeholders involved in CAP evaluations
- Exchange practical experiences from past and current evaluations at the regional, national and EU level
- Provide an opportunity for networking and identifying needs for further support for Managing Authorities, evaluators and CAP networks
