The InterMinisterial Coordination Committee (CIC) for Portugal 2020 approved, on August, 5, the Global Evaluation Plan for Portugal 2020 (PGA PT2020), available for consultation. The overall goal of the evaluation is to establish itself as the guiding document for the assessment of Portugal 2020 (PT2020) -  by all the entities responsible for the governance of the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESIF) - so that the design and implementation of policies and programmes can benefit from quality assessments, supported by evidence on the effectiveness, efficiency and impact of the interventions.
