Evaluation is an important and indispensable element of each activity implemented under the Erasmus+/Youth in Action Programme. Evaluation is the systematic and objective assessment of an ongoing or completed project or activity, including its implentation and most importantly outcomes or positive changes.
The main focus of evaluation is to ascertain whether the overall outcomes or positive changes resulting from any given activity, programme or policy have been achieved and to learn from this information in order to develop and improve activities in the future.
This section of the website explores the topic of evaluation a little further, asking some important questions like ‘what do we evaluate?’ and ‘why?’ and providing additional information, resources and tools to support you in the evaluation process.
Why do we evaluate and what do we want to know? When do we do it, and who takes part?
