Project

Making a SWOT analysis of environmental policy evaluation in Flanders.

At the occasion of the international year of the evaluation, the Flemish Evaluation Platform (VEP) organizes a seminar on 17 December 2015 in which developments in policy evaluation during the last decade are being discussed. The VEP want to offer a reflection on what was, what is and what the future brings for policy evaluation. The office of MIRA, part of the Flemish Environment Agency and expert environment, nature and energy in the organizing committee of VEP, has been asked to (1) offer a presentation or working paper with a SWOT analysis for the environment, nature and energy policy domain, and (2) organize a parallel session during the seminar on the same topic. In that framework, the University of Antwerp is engaged for a research and advisory mission in which the following steps are foreseen: (1) interviewing a small number of key actors in the policy domain to identify the SWOT elements; (2) processing the results in a draft paper, for feedback to the key actors, and (3) a participatory set-up of the session on environmental policy on 17 December, with a presentation of the SWOT analysis results and one or two contributions 'from the field', followed by a panel debate on statements that aim to stimulate the improvement of the organization of environmental policy evaluation in Flanders.
