EVALUATION OF CIP EQUAL TRANSNATIONAL CO-OPERATION PRINCIPLE
• Reasons of failure of TC (if relevant). Poorly formulated operational objectives,
missing risk assessment, unclear logic of intervention? (These are the general
reasons of failure of EQUAL projects, does it correlate with failure of TC?)
• Map the role of the partners within the TC, there is always one partner marked as the
one responsible for TC, ask about its role and roles of others, how others contributed,
helped, what was the real portion of partners involved in TC?
• Allowing DP implementing partner themselves to structure the course of the project
according to milestones and important events, influences, problem solving, decisions
• Allowing DP representative themselves to describe what added value they perceive in
relations to their a) partners, b) target groups, c) products
• Allowing DP representatives themselves to interpret the most important DP outcomes
as they came across in the (mandatory) internal or external evaluation (monitoring
processes)
• Allowing DP representatives themselves to formulate what they see as the added
value of the DP in terms of implementation and mainstreaming
• Asking complementary questions built on or following up from the questionnaire
findings.
3) DP Management
Questions in this area of focus shall concentrate on three management models according to
the type of the DP leadership/management (leader, rotating leaderships, being lead by
another partner).
SCENARIO
Step 1
Following the introduction of evaluation goals (not related to questions directly linked to
evaluation of a specific project or its implementing party), evaluation opens with the initial
idea of the transnational development partnership (hereiafter DP). Upon this, the evaluation
comes back to the original DPA and goal formulated therein. For purposes of this evaluation,
copy of appropriate passage from the DPA will suffice.
Step 2
Developing on Step 1; should communication not run smoothly, evaluation may apply
questions to stimulate own interpretation of individual points; what is most valid at this point
is when the DP implementing partner structure the process, milestones, added value – in
their own words. In terms of evaluation documentation of the project, copy of appropriate
passages will suffice for purposes of this evaluation.
Step 3
Complementary and follow up questions to Step 2
Step 4
Questions related to thematic area 3 – DP management (according to the type concerning
the given DP representative)
