The action regards to the assessment of the project’s impact and will be implemented in three stages. The first involves the assessment of the baseline situation of the target groups and will be documented with a series of semi-structured interviews and focus groups. The second stage involves a midterm evaluation, which will enable the project team to optimize the actions as they are being developed. The evaluation will be carried out with the use of questionnaires distributed to the approximately 760 participants in the training seminars. In addition, a series of semi-structured interviews with the trainees will be conducted during the seminars. The third and final stage involves the assessment of quantitative data regarding the traffic of the Collaborative Platform for Forests and the number of downloads of the application ForestLife. Additionally, a number of semi-structured interviews will be conducted with stakeholders, addressing the way the project enhanced their capacity to exercise forest management.
