On 12 and 13 January 2026, the Côte d’Azur FLAG took part in a workshop organised by FAMENET in Paris, focusing on evaluation methods for Community-Led Local Development (CLLD).

Two days of group work, presentations and discussions enabled FLAGs to familiarise themselves with the Theory of Change methodology developed by FAMENET to assess local development strategies, in particular through:

• A common impact model for FLAGs across Europe;
• A shared evaluation framework including evaluation questions, judgement criteria and suggested indicators;
• A ready-to-use reporting template;
• Data collection and reporting processes.

These technical meetings, bringing together all French FLAG coordinators, also provided an opportunity to share feedback and experiences, discuss upcoming national network activities, and initiate new inter-territorial cooperation projects.
