  6. Annual Evaluation Plan 2008 • 13 projects: • 12 evaluations (6 responsible institutions); • 1 evaluation capacity building project (MoF). • Budget: • ~ 0,7 million EUR; • ~ 6,5% of all allocations for evaluation in 2007-2013. • Main areas of evaluations: • strategic evaluations (e.g. priorities for 2014-2020); • EU SF impact assessment (on GDP, transport sector and information society); • evaluations to define baseline indicators and to set up methodologies for measurement of different indicators.

  7. Ministry of Finance: projects in 2008 • 3 evaluation projects: • Development priorities in 2014-2020; • EU SF impact on GDP; • Compatibility of the EU SF assistance under the SPD 2004-2006 with the EU and national strategies and other EU financial instruments; • 1 evaluation capacity building project: • Strategy for evaluation capacity building; • Training for the members of the ECG; • Study visits, conference on evaluation; • Methodological documents on evaluation.

  8. 3. Use of evaluation results (new requirements in 2007-2013) • Institution, responsible for an evaluation, within 30 working days after the acceptance of an evaluation report: • organizes presentation of evaluation results (e.g. seminar, meeting, discussion with different stakeholders); • publishes evaluation report on the website of the EU structural assistance (www.esparama.lt); • provides a copy of an evaluation report and information on the implementation of the recommendations to the Coordinating Authority (form to provide information).

  9. Form to provide information on the implementation of the recommendations

  10. 4. Lessons from the past… • Planning is crucial for timely evaluations and effective use of financial resources. • Use of evaluation in decision making process and benefit from evaluation depends on the level of institutionalization. • “Pure” evaluations are more useful than different studies, research. • Inter-institutional cooperation (formal and informal) is widely recognized as an effective way for the evaluation capacity building.

  11. 4. … and new challenges • Use of evaluation results: more thorough monitoring (result indicator in the OP’s – 70% of recommendations taken to implement). • Growing evaluation demand v. limited supply. • New behavior of companies on the supply side: cooperation instead of competition.
