Conclusions of the ESF final evaluations

Summary:

This document presents an overview of the final evaluations of the ESF assistance under Objectives 1, 3 and 41. It is an update of the work of synthesis of the mid-term evaluations. It therefore reproduces the structure of the synthesis but is more focused on the results and the impact of the programmes. Each part is structured in an identical way, around the questions of programming and implementation, output, results and impact, as well as the recommendations. It was written with the dual objective of demonstrating the scope and quality of the work carried out in the Member States and identifying strong and robust results for the ESF as a whole. This first draft relies on the reports approved in the first quarter of 2000 and therefore does not take into account Member States as important as Greece. It will be supplemented at a later date and validated gradually with the Member States.
