Evaluation is seen by the OECD LEED Programme as a key tool for supporting the effective design and delivery of local development strategies, which needs to be promoted and developed in the Trento Centre target countries. A clear demand has been identified by the Trento Centre in 2005 for support in understanding the objectives, concepts, methodologies and management of local development evaluations.
The objective of this activity is to improve evaluation culture by encouraging increased use of evaluation and evaluation results and contributing to improved quality of evaluations of local development strategies. This activity therefore involves work to accompany and mentor local development actors in the design of tailor-made approaches to the evaluation of their policies and programmes.
