The objective of the study is to provide reliable and robust monitoring data that will serve the basis for the Commission’s ex-post evaluation of cohesion policy programmes co-financed from the ERDF and the Cohesion Fund in the 2014-2020 programming period. The work carried out under this contract will provide input to the ex post evaluation in terms of:

1) creating a single database of the funded operations and classifying them according their scope of intervention, form of finance and type of beneficiary; and

2) gathering, classifying and quality assessing the output indicator data collected by managing authorities.

The study will exploit, analyse and synthetise the vast amount of monitoring data available in the national/regional monitoring systems so that it can be processed further and used for later analysis and evaluation work.
