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
In the following sections, you can find more about the upcoming and past Good Practice Workshops, their topics, agendas, and presentations on practical cases of how the Member States have evaluated the Common Agricultural Policy.
