ABSTRACT
The main goal of this chapter is the overall evaluation of the fieldwork research and the identification of the existing patterns of the learning process in both policy areas in all the participating countries. To do so, we draw on the existing evidence on the outcomes of policy implementation, taking into account the limitations in terms of data availability. In that respect, it should be stressed that there has been limited availability of data from ex post evaluation of the impact of Community interventions, especially at the regional (NUTS II) and sub-regional (NUTS III) levels.
