Evaluation network meeting Brussels, 23rd November 2012 Core Indicator Data Evaluation network meeting Brussels, 23rd November 2012

2012: Progress Achieved Results of 2011: Programmes accelerating, progress against all core indicators Reporting on targets have improved but achievements are still better reported Increased coverage but not all OPs reporting core indicators Reporting actual values (instead of contracted) increased Many technical problems seem resolved Decimals: dot vs. comma Typos or incomprehensible numbers

Most Frequent Problems Much of the data in SFC is still of insufficient quality for automatic aggregation Cumulative (vs. annual) values Measurement units Missing target values Baselines are included in target / achievement values Measurement unit for induced investment Increased quality of job creation indicator: completion vs. construction, double counting, men+women
