## Notice

Swansea University's Awen Institute, a European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) operation, has awarded the provision of its final evaluation. As part of the evaluation of the 2014-2020 round of ERDF funding, the Welsh European Funding Office (WEFO) requires beneficiaries to undertake a robust programme of monitoring and evaluation. Whilst the 2007-2013 programmes focused on implementation, or 'what works', the emphasis for operations funded in the 2014-2020 programme is on identifying and providing evidence to support outcomes/results and impacts to understand 'why' and 'how' an intervention works.The Awen Institute (formerly called the Institute for Creative Ageing Industries, ICAI) began in 2019 and an inception and mid-term evaluation was carried out in 2020/21. A final evaluation of the operation has now been contracted, using the theory of change logic model developed during the inception evaluation, to evaluate against that model and data collected.
