Use of knowledge in administration - mechanisms of civic supervision

Does evaluation inspire Polish administration?

This is only one of the questions regarding public administration’s attitude towards the outcomes of evaluations, which we tried to answer within the project "Use of knowledge in administration – mechanisms of civic supervision".

In September 2015 our Experts presented the findings on how the outcomes of evaluations were taken into consideration when designing the implementation system for the EU funds in 2014-2020 period. We have especially focused on recommendations which could result in lowering administrative burden for future Beneficiaries. We wanted our project to serve Polish public administration but, at the same time, we expected it to be an inspiration for other NGO’s on how to use evaluation as a tool of civic supervision of public authorities.

The project was implemented thanks to the grant from the Citizens for Democracy Programme of the Stefan Batory Foundation. The aim of the Citizens for Democracy Programme is to strengthen the development of civil society and the contribution of non-governmental organizations to social justice, democracy and sustainable development.  The programme is financed by the European Economic Area (EEA) Grants.
