Evaluations have increasingly become an important management tool in the political-administrative process to justify policy interventions and actions, to ensure optimal cost-effectiveness and to document the potential effects of political initiatives, whether these are projects, programmes or new legislation. Evaluations are an essential tool in most policy processes in Denmark as well as in the EU.
