Policy Evaluation & Impact Assessment

Intervention logic, evaluation criteria, counterfactual analysis, ex-ante and ex-post evaluation, impacts and policy recommendations.

RegioGro supports institutions and research consortia with policy evaluation and impact assessment designed around the decisions that evidence needs to inform. We combine clear intervention logic with quantitative and qualitative research to assess performance, understand effects and translate findings into practical recommendations.

When this service is needed

  • A policy or programme requires ex-ante, interim or ex-post evaluation.
  • Decision-makers need to understand economic, social, territorial or environmental effects.
  • Several interventions contribute to the same objective and their coherence needs to be assessed.
  • A new policy option requires evidence before implementation.
  • Existing evidence needs to be converted into clear conclusions and recommendations.
