Checklist for countries for data collection

Data for Chapter 3 – Country level analysis and individual country fiches

Adjustments

  • MS/ACs feedback is expected via Partnership Knowledge Hub to the country fiche layout and its related data requirements. European Commission and the Expert Group will provide the template.
  • Check if the data in the country fiches are still up to date. This step requites support from national level monitoring system.
  • If there are some new data requests (e.g., due to the priority themes of the BMR) find national level data sources or if it turns out to be complicated, notify European Commission and raise the discussion in the Partnership Knowledge Hub.
  • Check if there are some new additional national level data sources your country should engage.
  • Be ready to validate the quantitative data in your country fiche provided by EC/Expert Group and provide qualitative data. The qualitative input expected is for example anecdotal evidence about added value, impacts, and positioning of partnerships at national level, examples of input to national policies, etc.
  • Alert your national mirror group/other national level relevant partners to provide this feedback (if necessary).

Deadline: week 1-2
