Procedural Guidance Manual for Evaluation of NSRF Operational Programmes in Romania,
Technical advise for evaluation planning

First results of the assessment of OP Multi-annual evaluation plans: +
Very detailed descriptions of organisational structures and procedures
Coherent description of the regulatory framework
Evaluation strategies are but basically developped (due to the unfinished process of programming)
Deficits in the rationale for the planned evaluations
High self-committment resulting from the description of organisational structures and procedures - /

Proposal for revision and update of the template for multi-annual evaluation plans
1. Increasing the benefit of the evaluation plan for the coordination and management of evaluations by concentrating on the deduction of an evaluation strategy
2. Adaptation of the self-committment to a level balancing the partnership aspects with administrative needs /

6. Daniel.Jansen@mags.nrw.de / savioli@feedback-bremen.de
Development of an evaluation strategy based upon:
The OP: Central fields of interventions, priority axes, financial focal points, horizontal priorities, other national strategic priorities etc
The ex ante evaluation: main findings which give a hint on topics that should be further attended to or would need a prove in more detail
The monitoring-system capacitiy:
systematically missing data (Annex XXIII, OP)
suspected deficits of the data quality
information on which monitoring data will be provided how to the evaluators. /
