Obiettivo del progetto (Objective)
'ENVIEVAL will develop and integrate advanced evaluation tools into new methodological frameworks for the evaluation of environmental impacts of rural development programmes at micro- and macro-levels. In order to achieve this main aim, the proposed project has five objectives: i) to review implemented rural development programmes, existing monitoring and indicator systems, and new methodological developments in environmental policy evaluation; ii) to develop new methodological frameworks for the evaluation of net environmental effects of rural development programmes against their counterfactual; iii) to test and validate the selected evaluation tools through public good case study applications in seven partner countries and close collaboration with the European Evaluation Network, national and regional evaluators and managing authorities; iv) to assess the cost-effectiveness of the tested indicators and evaluation methods; and v) to provide a user-friendly methodological handbook for the evaluation of environmental impacts of rural development programmes. The methodological handbook will address the main challenges of environmental evaluations of rural development programmes taking into account potential changes to the CMEF post 2013. The main innovative aspects of the new methodological frameworks are that they enable the integration of micro- and macro-level evaluations (and their results) and provide guidance on the selection and application of cost-effective evaluation methods to estimate net effects of rural development programmes on the different main public goods from farming and forestry. ENVIEVAL will cover a set of EU Member States of Germany, UK, Greece, Finland, Italy, Lithuania, and Hungary, within which it will choose regional study areas to test the suitability of methods to evaluate the impacts of the rural development programmes on different environmental public goods.'
Introduzione (Teaser)
A new project is providing information on new evaluation approaches to assess the effectiveness of rural development programmes (RDPs) in delivering environmental benefits.
Descrizione progetto (Article)
The EU funds RDPs that promote water and soil quality, climate change mitigation, biodiversity, landscapes and animal welfare. To maintain funding, each country must achieve objectives according to the guidelines set out in the Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (CMEF).
With EU funding support, the http://www.envieval.eu/ (ENVIEVAL) project aims to test and improve the tools used to evaluate RDPs at different levels of governance. It helps evaluators to choose and apply the most cost-effective evaluation indicators and methods used to assess the environmental impact of RDPs.
So far, researchers have assessed evaluation methods to check whether they are responsive, analytically sound, and easy to interpret and measure. They found a need for more flexible indicators and methods that take into account site-specific circumstances such as data availability, policy relevance, different stakeholder aspirations and expertise.
Furthermore, the team recommends using logic models to design and select consistent evaluation approaches for environmental impact assessments across different levels. Researchers are also creating a methodological handbook for policymakers and evaluators of RDPs.
ENVIEVAL will help to identify future data needs to improve the consistency and suitability of monitoring frameworks required by the CMES. The handbook will also contribute to more reliable performance evaluations of the environmental impacts in current and future RDPs, making this important information available to decision makers.
