"Welcome Evalsed is an online resource providing guidance on the evaluation of socio-economic development. It promotes exchange of experience and good practice as well as increasing the relevance of evaluation in decision-making. Whilst the resource has a specific focus on evaluation in EU cohesion policy, it is also relevant to the evaluation of other socio-economic development tools. Evalsed is currently under development. In the policy debate, there is an ever increasing focus on the need for evidence on the performance of cohesion policy.  Policy makers need to know "what works?" and "why?".  The experiences of ongoing evaluation for 2007-2013 and the thematic ex post evaluation of the 2000-2006 period also demonstrate the greater potential for evaluations of themes or interventions to deliver credible results. Evalsed has traditionally focused on programme evaluations. Following these recent evaluation experiences and discussions at the Warsaw conference on evaluation methods [http://ec.europa.eu/regional_policy/conferences/evaluation2009/index_en.htm], Evalsed will be redeveloped. Evalsed consists of two parts: THE GUIDE and three SOURCEBOOKS."
