EASY-ECO Krakow Training

Training theme

Evaluation and impact assessment are playing increasingly important role in all European member states. Most governments have introduced regulatory impact assessment procedures for their own policy-making processes and candidate countries are being encouraged to do the same. Local Agenda 21 initiatives, and private sector corporations’ sustainability reporting and environmental management systems are also increasingly widely used. Many development assistance programmes, as well as the EU’s agricultural and structural funds, are subject to impact assessment or evaluation procedures which can support sector integration, institutional change, reforms, good governance, planning and implementation of sustainable development.

The training in Krakow is intended to enable young researchers to conduct actual evaluation projects in the future, to develop their skills and build their own capacity in the evaluation of sustainability.
