6 The tasks required and the evaluation questions are referred to here only. Activities leading to their fulfilment are described in detail in the timetable of works,
including their timing and logical relationship.
7 The evaluation has ten general and eleven specific objectives which have been referred to and numbered above. Although the fulfilment of the individual tasks is almost
always related to all the general objectives (objectives 1, 6, 9 and 10 in particular), the numbers of these objectives are referred to, which are primarily fulfilled by
the implementation of the task at issue.
8 Given the fact that experts referred to in this offer work in a team, the list of persons would be irrelevant here since it would almost always have to comprise all the persons.
However, the team operates in such a way that one or the maximum of two persons are in charge of a given task, the others contributing to the solution either by providing
comments on the outputs and helping with the analysis, or by participating directly in some of the evaluation methods (for example the focus group is always led by at least
two persons, the interviews and evaluation visits will be performed by 6 evaluators etc.). The number of work hours of the person at issue is referred to here to
differentiate the extent of individual team members’ involvement. Work hours spent on methodical preparation, data analysis, team meetings,
observations and producing the outputs has been added to the total number of hours cited in the budget.
9 Key target groups are referred to in target groups, i.e. those providing the most significant materials for further analyses and findings in terms of quantity as well as quality.
Given that the majority of evaluation tools operate across the target groups and that the questionnaire will be used as a flat-rate support for other evaluation techniques,
materials for each individual evaluation step are conceived de facto on the results of the examination of more groups than just those referred to. However, only those groups
primarily focused by the fulfilment of the task at issue are referred to for better comprehensibility. For the most part, the order of target groups is referred to based
on its importance; this aspect is not always relevant and that is why we do not expand on this issue.
10 All the outputs will be in English and Czech, the majority of intermediate products will also be processed in English and Czech in view of the transnational
structure of the team of evaluators. The working language inside the team will be English.
