Abstract
The past two decades have seen increasing attention being given to the evaluation of regional policy
at both European and national levels.1 As a previous EoRPA noted, ‘evaluation is a well-established
component of the policy process in a number of countries and continues to be used for regional policy
management and accountability, feeding into adjustments of on-going interventions and informing
future plans’. The growing importance accorded to evaluation has been driven by the need to justify
public spending as well as an interest in understanding ‘what works’ in regional policy.
