Naples, July 6 2006 Role and Activities of the Regional Evaluation Unit in Assessing Public Investments Federica Bertamino Campania Region Public Investments Evaluation Unit
The establishment of the Public Investments Evaluation Unit The Campania Region Public Investments Evaluation Unit was instituted in 2001, following the Italian Republic Law n. 144/99.
Composition The Regional Evaluation Unit (REU) is made up of 8 members (plus the director of the unit) They are experts in evaluation and management of complex programmes,with the following areas of expertise: 3 experts in infrastructure and industrial investments; 3 experts in territorial planning; 2 experts in economic and social analysis.
REU ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE EU EVALUATION LIFE CYCLE During the 2000-2006 programming period the REU has been involved in the activities related to the following steps of the EU evaluation life cycle: • Ex Ante Evaluation • Mid Term Evaluation • Update Mid Term Evaluation
EX ANTE EVALUATION The REU is in charge of the assessment of: • projects which cost more than 10 MEuro; • feasibility studies; • Integrated Projects
MID TERM EVALUATION The ROP MTE was carried out by an external independent evaluator under the responsibility of the managing authority through a feedback with REU. REU has developed the activities as the Steering group (according to the CIPE deliberation 83/2000). In particular, the role of REU was: • to define the technical contents of the Call for the selection of the Independent Evaluator (IE); • to follow up the MTE activities, with particular attention to the methodological aspects; • to monitor the quality of the analyses developed by the IE; • to give feedback on results to the OP Managing Authority.
UPDATE OF THE MID TERM EVALUATION • The Commission proposed to let the managing authorities decide if the update should be undertaken externally or internally, as long as core elements were addressed. • Regione Campania decided to undertake it internally. REU was put in charge of the update of the mid-term ROP evaluation in October 2004 (according to Campania Region Decision n.1764/04). The update evaluation process ended on the 31st December 2005. • The role of the REU was: • to co-ordinate the entire evaluation activity; • to write the update mid-term evaluation report.
Consideration on the update of the MTE • Putting the REU in charge of the mid term update gave the whole Regional Administration a good opportunity to develop a better internal evaluation capacity.
EX ANTE EVALUATION OF 2007-2013 PROGRAMMES • About 10 days ago Campania Region decided to undertake internally the ex ante evaluation of 2007-2013 Programmes. • REU has been put in charge of it .
