Evaluations

How successful is the implementation of projects and policy instruments, or dedicated public relations efforts? How to optimise the development of novel programmes, and improve existing initiatives?

These questions are answered with evaluations. Evaluation and accompanying social science research have become a key focus at ifeu in recent years. We employ a wide range of quantitative and qualitative methodology for data collection and analysis. From there, we develop recommendations according to the individual situation and framework.

Not only do we have many years of experience in the evaluation of environmental programmes, we also actively engage in the advancement and standardisation of evaluation methodology. For this purpose, we work in accordance with the standards of the DeGEval.
