SWEDISH AGENCY FOR ECONOMICAND REGIONAL GROWTH
Lessons learned• Hard to use measures such as new firms or new
jobs. Most of our projects aims to change structures, not to directly create new firms/jobs.
• Indicators can’t be the only way to evaluate programs/projects, case studies and ongoing evaluation is often better tools for learning.
• We can’t use macro statistics to evaluate our program.
• Active ownership/engagement from the lead partners of the project is important.

Macro statistics are not usable for evaluation
GDP/capita 32 790GERD/capita 1 770Transport infrastructure (est.)/capita 466Structural funds/capita 7
The size of the structural funds in Skåne-Blekinge is much to small to be measured by macro statistics

Work with strategies and evaluation
• 2008-09: Self evaluation and peer review of our RIS.
• 2010-2011 (Oct/Nov): Innovation and cluster strategy.
• 2011: Pilot study for a cluster evaluation model based on both register data and surveys.
• 2011-2012: OECD Territorial review.
• The processes above need to be linked together more clearly with a logical chain from strategy and action to the indicators.
