2 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania The new programming period 2007-2013 The EU evaluation approach from 2000- 2006 to 2007-2013 The role of indicators update of the mid term evaluation of POR Campania 2000-2006

3 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania An evaluation project example: the mid term update evaluation of Campania OP 2000-2006  art. 42 Reg. (CE) 1260/1999 provides for each Local Authority carries on mid term evaluation by its updating within 31 December 2005 in agreement with member state and European commission  The objective of update of Mid Term Evaluation is twofold: first, to give recommendations and punctual suggestions for the future programming period, second, to build up a correct logical framework to implement the ex post.

5 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania The basic principles of cohesion reform  From a legislative point of view  Five new regulations:  Three are about how each structural fund (ESRF, ESF, Cohesion Fund) should work within the new regional programmes  One is the general regulation of the European conceal in substitution of the previous regulation (1260/99) in order to define the common dispositions about the three structural funds  The last is the juridical base to use a new tool for territorial cooperation

6 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania  The new legislative framework drives towards a strong strategic approach:  There are three levels of action programme: 1. the European Commission will fix strategic objectives of socio- economic and territorial cohesion within a framework of interventions of structural funds. 2. Each Member State will translate the European strategic objectives in a National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF) 3. each Region will construct, on the basis of the previous lines (European and National) the Operational Programme

7 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania simplification  Great attention on simplification principle:  The co-financing of the cohesion policy is set for the three structural funds instead of six (as well as the previous programming period) with the same administration rules of the Cohesion fund;  The administration of the funds is activate at priority level instead of at measures level  The centralisation policy about eligibility expenditure rule is replaced with national policy  Each Operational Programme must be one fund based (in this way each Region must do three Operational Programmes)  The financial management and control will be more efficient with a stronger distinction between national and European responsability.

8 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania  The main innovations of the Cohesion policy Reform of the period 2007-2013 are:  Strategic approach  Financial system  Administration and control system  Evaluation

9 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania Strategic Approach  The new architecture of structural funds does not distinguish anymore Operational Programme from single programming document but defines an approach more strategic.  Taking into account the European strategic lines, the National Strategic Reference Framework will describe in a very synthetic way the National Strategy and the main interventions and actions in a such a way each region can elaborate its Operational Programme.

10 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania What ‘s up  Three objectives: Convergence, Regional Competitiveness and Employment, European Cooperation.  The Convergence Objective: collects the European regions less developed is financed by ERSF ESF Cohesion Fund has substituted the previous objective 1  The new version of the Convergence Objective involves a several regions belong to new Member States with different pattern of development, even though all are less developed.

11 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania 2000-20062007-2013Priority Objective 1ConvergenceInnovation, Infrastructure, Human Resources, Environmental Risk, Capacity Building, Sustainable Transport Objective 1 Objective 2 Competitivene ss Innovation, accessibility, European strategy for employment, Environmental Risk, InterregCooperationInnovation, Nature, Culture, Education.

12 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania The National Strategic Reference Frameworks (NSRF) The NSRF represents the opportunity to unify the programming activity of regional policies at European level in order to make a stronger harmony with national policies. The NSRF: ensures the programming coherence with European strategic lines; puts in evidence the links among European, national and regional priorities is the basic orientation to elaborate regional operative programmes. Strategic contents : thematic priority with quantified indicators action to improve the effectiveness of public administration the list of regions involved with respect the two objectives (Convergence and Competitiveness) the executive and operative action to implement the strategic priorities and orientations. The actions to verify the additional request The Member States propose their NSRF to the Europeans Commission after five months to the adoption of European strategic orientations.

13 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania The EU evaluation approach from 2000-2006 to 2007-2013

14 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania Evaluation Art. 45: The strategic guidelines of the Community, the national strategic reference framework, and the operational programmes shall be subject of evaluation. Evaluations shall aim to improve the quality, effectiveness and consistency of Fund assistance and the implementation of operational programmes. They shall also appraise their impact with respect to the strategic objectives of the Community, to article 158 of the Treaty and to the specific structural problems affecting the Member States and regions concerned, while taking account of needs of sustainable development and of the relevant Community legislation concerning environmental impact and strategic environmental assessment.

17 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania  The rationale of evaluation programme can be focused on two peculiarities:  Strategic: when it is relevant to support programming activities in the entire process according to Community and national priorities.  Operational: when it is relevant to support the monitoring of an operational programme in order to make it be successfull

18 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania  The Commission estabilishes the evaluation methods and standards to be applied (…), while the Member States shall provide the human and financial resources necessary for carrying out evaluations, organise the production and gathering of the necessary data and use the various types of information provided by the monitoring system.  Evaluation is carried out BEFORE, DURING and AFTER the programming period

19 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania  Phases of the evaluation ex ante Evaluation : it shall aim to optimise the allocation of budgetary resources under operational programmes and improve programming quality. It shall identify and appraise medium- and long-term needs, the goals to be achieved, the results expected, the quantified targets, the coherence, if necessary, of the strategy proposed for the region, the Community value-added, the extent to which the Community’s priorities have been taken into account, the lessons drawn from previous programming and the quality of the procedures for implementation, monitoring, evaluation and financial management.

20 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania  Phases of the evaluation Mid Term Evaluation: During the implementation of plans and programmes, it is realised to control the achievement level of mid term objectives (set by indicators of impacts, results and outcomes) and to elaborate mixed adjustment to drive the programme to success. ex post Evaluation : at the end of the implementation of plans and programmes, it is realised to comprehend if the objectives and goals have been reached or not with respect the amount of financial resources used.

27 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania Indicator measures An objective to be reached The activation of resource The achievement of outputs The effects reached The variable of a peculiar phenomenon of the territorial context. The indicator system

28 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania The information given by an indicator is a quantitative measure of variable that represents an important phenomena to control (e.g. percentage of assisted SME by public interventions, percentage of educated people that are satisfied by educational programme, etc..)

29 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania An indicator must give simple information that should be easy friendly in order to be correctly used. The indicator should help public administration in the decision making process, therefore it must be linked to a success criterion (e.g. the criterion improving quality of life)

30 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania The indicator and its measure unitb must be sensitive, that is the quantified measures must change in a significant way when the change of phenomenon they represent occurs.

31 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania output indicators : variables that directly check the achievement level of physical objectives of measures (e.g. km of road, number of attended people to educational programme, kmq of equipped areas) result indicators: variables that check if the necessary condition to reach final objectives have been implemented. Impact indicator : variables that check the achievement of final objective (the improvement of welfare, the reached level of development) There are no direct link with each measure of the Operational Programme. They occur with the realisation of many output and result objectives.

55 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania The Report is structured in two parts “Programme Evaluation and Recommandation for the future programming period 2007-2013 with four appendixes Appendix I – The POR Measures Appendix II – The indicators of impacts, results and outcomes with respect to each typology of interventions Appendix III – GIS Appendix IV – Financial analysis by Fund Objectives and Structure

56 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania Objectives and Structure The Upadate of Mid Term Evaluation - The expenditure capacity reached at 31 October 2005 with respect also the expenditure realised at mid term evaluation deadline -The capacity to put together the expenditure control and monitoring activities with assessment procedures of investment quality by using the indicator system (impact result and output) PROGRAMME EVALUATION puts in evidence the actual performances of the programme with respect its implementation RECOMMENDATION FOR THE FUTURE PROGRAMMING 2007- 2013 Strategic reconstruction of regional orientations RECOMMENDATION FOR THE FUTURE PROGRAMMING 2007- 2013 Strategic reconstruction of regional orientations Individuation of the weight of POR action in order to achieve the fixed development objectives and the level of complementary of the POR with respect to the other programmes Defining strength and weakness for each sector according to the fixed objectives during the implementation phase Analysing the sectors in the light of new orientation documents for the future programming period 2007-2013 -The capacity of the programme to respond to the development priorities demanded by regional context. -The capacity of problem analysis e problem solving of public administration level with respect to expenditure trends. -The capacity of vertical and horizontal integration inside different level of governance

57 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania The approach of evaluation process takes into account that it is not possible to modify or to adjust in a structural way the programme in this phase of its implementation. In other words, it is not possible to suggest policy change or strategy modification. That kind of changes can be suggested only for the future programming period. Programme Evaluation

59 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania Priority: Sustainability of the residual programmed expenditure  The programmed cash flow trend shows a strong slope at the end of 2004, mainly due to the procedure of Integrated Projects that has required a hard programming effort at the beginning

60 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania The evaluation has been structured by structural funds intervention areas in order to understand how the program has invested its resources in terms of physical outputs and expected results by classical investment categories of development policies. That is, infrastructure, business SME, human resources. The Working Paper N°9, focusing on the importance of these investment categories, defines an essential set of core indicators for each of them: 1.Infrastructure Development Transports/ Roads; Transports/ Railways; Environment; 2. Information Society 3. Business Development Development of SME Research and Development 4.Human Resources Development

61 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania OP measures have been aggregated by intervention areas. The expenditure data have been collected from information system MONIT and concern both programmed payments and real payments. The level of attention has been assessed for each measure taking in account the residual capacity to perform the programmed outputs and results (2008). The level of attention has been graduated in a range of percentages as following: 0-10% High level of attention  10% - 25% Medium level of attention  More than 25% Low level of attention 

62 Carmelina Bevilacqua – Nucleo di Valutazione e Verifica degli Investimenti Pubblici della Regione Campania
