“…The on-going approach was the second novelty of the 2007-2013 programming period, in the light of making assessment more relevant in the programming cycle [35]. As noted by Cristiano and Licciardo [45], the on-going approach configures the evaluation as a process which takes place from the initial stages of programming, providing the Managing Authorities (MAs), in every step, the necessary knowledge to improve the implementation of RDPs (see Figure 1); evaluation is therefore considered more a learning process than a mere product, presented in an evaluation report [9,[46][47][48][49]. Finally, we can mention, as a third element, the strengthening of networking activities both at EU level (Evaluation Helpdesk, European Evaluation Network for Rural Development, Evaluation Expert Committee) and at national level (National Rural Networks), to build evaluation capacity and share experiences and knowledge.…”

The new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) proposal includes few improvements compared to previous programming periods which may reinforce future evaluation, but we can also observe elements that may weaken the assessment, with the risk of repeating past failures. The objective of this essay is to analyse the new framework proposed for evaluation in the future CAP and to promote a collective discussion on how to make evaluations more usable, useful and reliable for users and practitioners. The first part of the paper analyses the main elements of evaluation during the different rural development programming cycles. A second part is dedicated to an examination of the current programming period (2014–2020) and the implications of the introduction of the Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (CMEF) and the evaluation plan. In a third part, we critically discuss the proposals for the next programming period and we offer some concluding reflections and two main open questions. From the analyses carried out, many elements emerge to encourage discussion on the role that evaluation has played and can play and the critical points to face. The experiences in rural development policies have introduced important changes in theoretical and implementation terms. In particular, they helped to build evaluation capacity and enabled the involvement of the civil society. However, it is also clear that the European Commission (EC) designed path has often led to an increase in rigidity and orthodoxy towards common frameworks compliance.
