Evaluation

EU fund evaluation is carried out in order to assess the effectiveness, efficiency, usefulness and impact of EU fund investments on the Latvian economy and society.

Furthermore, EU fund evaluation provides evidence, based on the experience of the previous EU fund planning periods both in Latvia and other EU countries. Evaluation results allow to efficiently plan and carry out EU fund investments aimed at the growth of the national economy of Latvia, as well as to improve the EU fund investment quality, efficiency and compliance of EU fund investments with the actual needs.
