GSS EU Science Funding Gateway

In the new results-based delivery model of the CAP, Member States are in charge of tailoring CAP interventions to maximise their contribution to EU objectives and to achieve agreed targets. They also have a say in designing the compliance and control framework applicable to beneficiaries while continuing to ensure effective monitoring and enforcement of the attainment of all policy objectives.

Proposals should:

• Review and benchmark existing tools and/or methods used in different Member States to support the development, implementation and monitoring of effective CAP strategic plans.
• Develop, test and demonstrate a set of innovative tools and/or methods, both qualitative and quantitative, to evaluate the design and support the implementation and monitoring of effective CAP strategic plans.
• The proposed tools and/or methods should:
  • take into account all objectives and policy instruments post-2020 CAP;
  • enable analysis of coherence between the multiple instruments of the CAP as well as with other EU policies and international commitments;
  • be compatible with and/or innovative in relation to the tools and methods used by the European Commission.
• Apply and evaluate potentials and limitations of the proposed tools to different case studies within Member States, with attention given to balanced geographical coverage and taking into account the diversity of farming systems across the EU, including the outermost regions, and different government structures, e.g. regional / federal administration approaches.
• Develop methodological protocols and guidelines for the users of the tools and methods.
