- Monitoring, ex ante and mid-term evaluations, as well as audits have an immediate impact on a given intervention, although lessons learned will certainly contribute to and shape future interventions — assuming the translation of knowledge into operational reality. In turn, the conclusions and recommendations of final and ex post evaluations feed directly into new actions in all phases of the intervention cycle, while the findings of strategic evaluations inform aid programming processes.
- Evaluation is going beyond the assessment of what has happened, as it also considers why it has happened (the roleof the EU intervention) and how much EU actions contribute to positive change. Evaluations are one of the key components of the overall INTPA organisational learning effort, as represented by the monitoring and evaluation pyramid. Here, evidence produced by continuous internal monitoring supports and directs regular external monitoring exercises — which in turn provide findings further analysed by means of ad hoc evaluations at the intervention or strategic level.

Since 2020 INTPA has developed a new methodology for evaluations, aimed at increasing the regularity and quality of intervention-level evaluations and to strengthen the feedback loop of evaluation results into evidence-based policymaking, intervention design and implementation.
