Running from October 2023 to January 2024, Tools4CAP has successfully convened over 100 stakeholders in 14 National Focus Groups and one EU-level Focus Group.
The session’s primary aim was to better assess the tools’ functionalities and explore the challenges policy-makers encounter in their implementation.
The meeting revolved around enhancing decision-making tools for more effective planning, management, and implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy and the Strategic Plan.
The meeting, hosted by Ecorys, brought together several representatives from national authorities, along with European-level entities, such as DG AGRI, the Committee of the Regions and the EU CAP Network.
The focus group concluded that policy-makers need high-quality and timely national data, user-friendly digital platforms, and better time management.
The goal of this focus group was to delve into the challenges associated with the implementation of these tools, identify end users’ needs, and evaluate the tools.
