The evaluation is a requirement by the European Commission and was undertaken by Alec Fraser Associates, the European Policy and Research Centre, University of Strathclyde and the Rural Development Company. The evaluation mainly reviewed:
The Plan was a requirement in the Single Programming Document to analyse gaps in ICT infrastructure and make recommendations on a telecommunications strategy focusing on the most cost-effective way of enabling access to developing telecom services for users in the region.
The study was commissioned to provide a framework for supporting renewable energy investments and guidelines for applicants and the Advisory Group. It focused on potential initiatives, eligible activity and the scale of projects which the Programme could support.
This study was commissioned by the Scottish Executive with the objective to review the effectiveness of social inclusion Measures within the Objective 3, Objective 2 West of Scotland, and Highlands and Islands Special Transitional Programme. The study was undertaken by Ekos Limited.
European Structural Funds Programmes must comply with certain monitoring and assessment requirements as laid down by the European Community in Articles 40 and 42 of Council Regulation No 1260/1999. This study therefore forms part of the Mid Term Evaluation Update for the European Social Fund in Scotland.
