on the roll-out of the OP to end 2008, examining
issues surrounding the system functioning
• and one in 2012 - examining the implementation of
the OP, of a broader nature, against the traditional
evaluation criteria of effectiveness, efficiency,
relevance, impact and sustainability
 These evaluations will be commissioned to external
experts
Indicative Evaluation Activities
Ad hoc evaluations
• Individual Priority Axis or Key Areas of interventions
shall be subjected to ad-hoc evaluation
