Csil, together with Finlombarda, has contributed to the implementation the INTERREG PROJECT “ Institutional Capacity for Assessing the Impact of Structural Funds” (Incasis).
The overall objective of the project was to promote sustainable regional development, social cohesion and economic development by improving, extending and pioneering the instruments, programmes and policy approaches of the participating regions in respect of the evaluation of projects and programmes financed with Structural Funds.
The fruitful cooperation among the project partners has brought to concrete results that were presented during the final conference held in Cracow the 27th and 28th September 2007 and organised by the Lead Partner, the Cracow University of Economics.
Outputs achieved by the project were a final catalogue of tools for evaluation of the Structural Funds coming from best practice instruments transferred from one partner to another and a guide for the evaluation of projects undertaken by regional authorities co-financed with Structural Funds. The project activities finishes at the end of December 2007.
