2009
Silvija Nora Kalniņš, Dagnija Blumberga

The goal of the research is to develop a methodology for a policy evaluation and apply it to the climate change policy in Latvia, applying information and experience from the United Nations Development Programme in Latvia in the implementation of its environmental portfolio. The evaluation criteria used are: relevance (conformity to country priorities), efficiency (expected against actual results), efficacy (the efficient use of human and financial resources) and impact (achievement of long-term impact and sustainability). Each criterion has several indicators based upon which the climate change policy is evaluated and a value on the performance of the policy is attributed for each criteria. Further, each criterion is given an importance factor which is applied to the value in order to receive the final performance rating for the individual criteria and for the performance of the policy on the whole.
