In accordance with the Managing Authority (MA), the Impact Evaluation has been split into two steps with the delivery of two different Impact Evaluation Reports. One was delivered in 2022 and the second in 2023. This choice was taken considering the level of progress of the Programme. The 2022 impact evaluation tackled the SOs, namely 1.1, 2.1 and 3.2. The 2023 impact evaluation covered the rest of the SOs 2.2, 3.1, 3.2 and 4.1. In the following paragraph, the Independent Evaluator (IE) describes the overall approach while in paragraphs 2.2 and 2.3 the IE distinguishes the different processes followed in the two Evaluation Reports.
