Abstract
This thesis evaluates Turkey’s participation in the EU LIFE programme from its inception in 1992 onward, aiming to support EU environmental policy and to develop a strategy for Turkey’s future engagement in the final phase of LIFE III (2005–2006) and its successor LIFE+ (2007–2013). The excerpt introduces LIFE as the EU’s only dedicated environmental funding instrument, situates it within the broader context of EU environmental policy and financing, and outlines an evaluation framework grounded in literature on evaluation types and design. Methodologically, the study proposes a mixed-method approach using both quantitative and qualitative data, project portfolio analysis, and interviews (as indicated by the appendices), structured into ex post (1992–2003), interim (2004–2005), and ex ante (2006–2013) assessments of relevance, effectiveness, and implementation capacity. The excerpt notes that Turkey has benefited from 27 LIFE projects under the third countries window but does not present specific evaluation findings; the thesis aims to translate the assessment into actionable recommendations to improve Turkey’s use of LIFE and LIFE+.
Denne afhandling evaluerer Tyrkiets deltagelse i EU’s LIFE-program fra programmets start i 1992 og frem med henblik på at understøtte EU’s miljøpolitik og udarbejde en strategi for fremtidig deltagelse i den sidste fase af LIFE III (2005–2006) og i efterfølgeren LIFE+ (2007–2013). Uddraget præsenterer baggrunden for LIFE som EU’s eneste dedikerede miljøfinansieringsinstrument, sætter det ind i den bredere kontekst af EU’s miljøpolitik og finansiering, og skitserer en evalueringsramme baseret på litteratur om evalueringstyper og design. Metodisk lægger studiet op til en mixed-method tilgang med både kvantitative og kvalitative data, analyse af projektporteføljer og interviews (jf. bilag), struktureret som ex post (1992–2003), interim (2004–2005) og ex ante (2006–2013) evalueringer af relevans, effektivitet og gennemførelseskapacitet. Uddraget angiver, at Tyrkiet har haft 27 projekter under LIFE’s ordning for tredjelande, men indeholder ikke de konkrete evalueringsresultater; afhandlingens mål er at omsætte vurderingerne til handlingsorienterede anbefalinger for bedre udnyttelse af LIFE og LIFE+.
