  • Page | 10 Sep 2020

This part refers to the process of collecting data necessary for the intervention evaluation. Even though this stage is not generally considered a specific phase of the policy cycle, it is strongly suggested to plan the data collection in advance, as the intervention is launched. Here you can find suggestions on the type of data source  to use for different evaluation processes, plus some documents illustrating the advantages of using administrative data in ESF evaluations.
