### Lot Information

Lot 1

Dumfries & Galloway LEADER Local Action Group (D&G LAG) has been delivering Day of the Region since 2011. Day of the Region is a transnational cooperation project, first delivered in Dumfries & Galloway in 2011 involving a number of EU partner regions. The aim of this commission is to evaluate and report on the impact, achievements and potential legacy of Day of the Region 2014-2019. The findings will provide the LEADER Local Action Group with a comprehensive evaluation report which will have the potential to encourage future community projects to build on the Day of the Region successes. The report should include recommendations on how the work of Day of the Region can live on in Dumfries and Galloway including comparisons to other European successes. It should provide a commentary on how projects like Day of the Region can link most effectively with other EU, national and local funding streams. The successful consultant or consortium will demonstrate a person-centred approach and have extensive experience in community engagement in rural areas. Community engagement should be person centred and produce good case studies through a variety of engagement methods which must include face to face meetings within the communities. It is anticipated that the piece of work would involve the following: - Review evaluation report from 2011 - 2013 - Review internal evaluation and data from 2014 - 2019 - Effectively engage with the lead applicants, participant organisations and communities regionwide from 2014-2019 - Effectively engage with communities who did not progress or did not engage from 2014-2019 - Exploration of transnational links across Europe - Social Return on Investment research conducted in each participating community from 2014-2019 - Recommendations relating to how the guidance and framework of Day of the Region could be adapted for future initiatives and the consideration of potential key stakeholders - Validate Day of the Region as a community development opportunity in rural communities - Recommend, through consultation, how any similar future initiatives could integrate with other services and stakeholders in Dumfries and Galloway - Produce the final output in a variety of up to date and relevant media to include an innovative way of showcasing the success of the project at the upcoming celebration event.
