Ahead of their forthcoming mid-term evaluation, this study provides an initial evaluation of the implementation of the Erasmus +, Creative Europe, European Solidarity Corps, and Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values Strand 3 funding programmes since their launch in late 2021. The evaluation focuses primarily on their relevance, coherence and effectiveness, with a view to identifying challenges and shortcomings, but also to highlight good practices and potential for future development. The research shows that despite the impact of events such as the COVID-19 health crisis and the geopolitical situation, these programmes have been successfully launched and have demonstrated a high level of flexibility and resilience in a fast changing environment.Source : © European Union, 2023 - EP
