The Evaluation of the performance of the Civil Protection Programme 2021-2027 during implementation is based on indicators and criteria such as effectiveness, efficiency, relevance, coherence and EU added value as well as impacts from the implementation of the interventions, with the aim of improving the quality of the design and implementation of the Programme.
The Managing Authority prepares an Evaluation Plan, which is submitted to the Monitoring Committee no later than one year after the approval of the Programme. The Evaluation Plan briefly describes the type, content, timing and budget of each evaluation planned to be carried out under the Programme and may be revised whenever necessary, in order to reflect any changes to the Programme. Its aim is to ensure the implementation of quality assessments and their effective use both in the context of the implementation of the 2021-2027 Programming Period and in the context of the design of the Programmes of the next Programming Period.
The European Commission will carry out an interim evaluation of the Programme by the end of 2024 and an ex-post evaluation by the end of 2031.
The Member State is obliged to complete an evaluation of the Programme by the end of June 2029 to assess its impact.
The Managing Authority participates in the annual performance review meetings of the Programme, organised with the European Commission, providing information on the implementation of the Evaluation Plan. The results of the review meeting are recorded in approved minutes.
