Findings highlight the importance of stronger governance, administrative capacity, interoperable data, meaningful stakeholder involvement and integrated tool ecosystems to support more evidence-informed CAP strategic planning.
Three updated Tools4CAP methodological guidelines bring together modelling approaches, participatory methods and data integration protocols to support more practical, evidence-based CAP Strategic Planning, monitoring and evaluation.
The analysis synthesises experiences from 12 case studies conducted across 11 countries, using the project’s Tune-up Evaluation Framework (TEF) to assess what enables (or blocks) their real-world uptake.
The update not only expands the content but also introduces structural improvements to make the inventory more practical and user-friendly.
The document includes a Policy Task–Tool Matrix to help authorities match specific CSP planning task—such as SWOT analysis or intervention prioritisation—with the most appropriate participatory methods.
The document aims to equip technical stakeholders with methods that support collaboration and effective communication among technical personnel across organisations.
Tools4CAP has released a report exploring how quantitative tools can equip policymakers with the ability to implement effective policies, suggesting targeted adaptations and new developments of quantitative tools.
The modelling tools selected for this purpose include Joint models (AGMEMOD-FarmDyn-ecoscheme simulator), CAPRI, GLOBIOM and experimental economics.
The report focuses on identifying data gaps hindering the correct and successful implementation of the CAP Strategic Plans, exploring explores innovative data sources, tools, and mechanisms to support a holistic data collection approach.
It provides comprehensive guidelines for tools selected through a structured process, integrating ex-ante modelling tools with participatory approaches.
