Evaluierung der Aktivität

The evaluation was mainly based on qualitative aspects although some quantitative research was also undertaken. The amount of projects approved, the number of participants and the resources spent to run the projects provide a partial measure of how general and specific objectives of the Programme are being achieved. In this context, the evaluation focused more on qualitative than on quantitative aspects. As far as the period 2000-2002 is concerned, primary and secondary data collected during the evaluation - questionnaires, interviews with beneficiaries and official data - were used. A set of indicators was developed to analyse the relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability and visibility of the third-country cooperation strand of the YOUTH Programme.
