Evaluation of the Northern Periphery Programme 2007-13

This project comprised a second element part of the on-going evaluation of the 2007-13 Northern Periphery Programme. It responded to the need to: position the NPP for post 2013, reviewing existing and emerging strategies and policies affecting the region and scoping these over the 2014-2020 period and beyond; identify options for future themes/priorities for the post 2013 NPP; evaluate existing themes of the NPP and evaluate the future relevance of these in the post 2013 period; evaluate whether the NPP should extend its geographic coverage for the next programme period, i.e. involve more regions and possibly more countries; and gather input into the programme development process.
