An example of territorial policy evaluation: the evaluation of actions relating to breeding in the Alsace State-Regional Plan (CPER)

Abstract

The review of one aspect of a regional policy (agricultural activities linked to livestock breeding) allowed us to test the implementation of an evaluative method based on a general analytical grid comprised of three phases : the policy analysis, a review and evaluation phase and, finally, the assessment itself. Overall, the objectives that aimed at increasing the productivity of the livestock breeding farms were achieved (construction of buildings, enhanced quality of the products). However, on the whole, the subsidies granted did not contribute to the establishment of a territorial balance.
