3 Conference Aims Every year OECD Member countries dedicate significant public resources to programmes aimed at local and regional development. These resources include funds from sub-national authorities as well as money from central (and supranational) governments for schemes implemented by local bodies. In spite of the magnitude of this spending which amounts to billions of EURO per year in many countries there is little expenditure on evaluations that provide useful information for policymakers. Much evaluative activity is perfunctory and of poor quality, while various forms of audit and process control often substitute for genuine economic assessment of the costs and benefits of policy. The evaluation deficit has many causes. These range from lack of political commitment and resistance among programme managers, to the costs and methodological challenges of good-quality evaluation. The consequences of this evaluation shortfall are numerous and important. They include wasteful public expenditure on a potentially large scale, inadequate learning from local policy innovation, and erroneous identification of best practice. The OECD s Local Economic and Employment Development (LEED) Programme is seeking to encourage an improvement on this situation. Organised in collaboration with the European Commission and the Austrian Ministry for Economic Affairs and Labour, this Conference aims to examine in ways that are theoretically sound but easily amenable to policymakers how the evaluation of programmes for local development is best designed and implemented. This Conference is organised around three broad sets of issues: - Firstly, the opening and closing sessions consider ways to encourage increase and improve government investment in and learning from evaluation. - A second set of presentations focuses on how best to evaluate the most commonly employed local development programmes. The particular problems of evaluating training, technical extension services, assistance to third sector organisations, support to entrepreneurship, territorial employment pacts, micro-credit schemes and other tools will be examined by leading practitioners. - A third area of focus covers the latest insights on how to assess the broader economic and social effects of area-based public policy. Ways of undertaking area-wide evaluations of multi-instrument strategies will be considered. Particular consideration will be given to the experience of quantitative modelling used more frequently in the United States. Both the ideal and feasible data requirements for undertaking area-wide evaluations of multi- -instrument strategies will be considered. The debates and exchanges of view during this event, as well as Conference papers and other material, will be drawn together in one or more OECD books. These publications will seek to provide practical and methodologically sound guidance on evaluation to policymakers and practitioners across the OECD. In so doing, the OECD aims to contribute to improving the quality of public policy for local economic and employment development.
