Evaluation Methodology Guidelines

This section describes the Common Evaluation Methodology for CCAM (EU-CEM Handbook). In addition to providing guidelines on how to set up and conduct evaluations or assessments of both direct and indirect (wider socio-economic) impacts, it offers support materials to assist CCAM projects in performing their evaluations. The CCAM taxonomy includes evaluation-related terminology, promoting a common language for communicating results effectively.
