Task of the mid-term evaluation is the assessment of the essential aspects of the promotional framework regarding relevance, effectiveness, efficiency, benefits and sustainability of the measures promoted, subject to the status of programme implementation.

Furthermore, the efficiency of budget adminstration as well as the quality of monitoring and realisation are being evaluated.
