DE’P Institut has assessed the APP Program of the Employment Service of Catalonia (SOC), considering the analysis of design, implementation, as well as results and impact analysis. The aim is to provide useful information and possible recommendations to assess its continuity in the future. The evaluation has been conducted based on the theory of change using various sources and techniques:
D’EP Institut has designed the evaluation of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona's Internationalization Plan 2021-2025 during the year 2022. With the aim of measuring the results obtained, being accountable, and drawing lessons to improve the quality of future public policies, the Plan foresees carrying out a monitoring methodology to monitor and evaluate the implementation of the strategic lines and action lines. In this regard, D’EP Institut has conducted a working session to delve into each of the five strategic lines of the Plan: impact on the European and international political agenda; attraction of European and international funds; innovation and knowledge management in metropolitan areas; international economic projection; and international cooperation. With the information gathered through these working sessions and document analysis, an evaluation matrix and an annual activity report model have been developed, which includes planning for the following evaluation phases (intermediate evaluation, final evaluation, and annual evaluation reports).

The ASOC Catalonia project has been promoted by the Secretariat General of Open Government and is supported by the Department of Education and the Secretariat of Foreign Action and the European Union. It is part of the OpenCohesion School (ASOC) project, an innovative interdisciplinary educational program designed for all types of secondary schools to promote citizen auditing of public finances through the use of open data and information and communication technologies. D’EP Institut has provided technical support in the implementation of the project in 11 educational centers by facilitating webinars, adapting necessary materials, developing teaching guides, and participating in the final event. Finally, D’EP Institut has also conducted the project evaluation.
D'EP Institut has collaborated with the Animal Welfare and Responsible Ownership Unit of the Rubí City Council in the development of the Animal Welfare and Responsible Ownership Plan (PBATR) 2022-2025. D'EP Institut has been responsible for the technical secretariat, conducting face-to-face surveys in recreational areas and an online consultation with the public, and finally drafting the PRATR. This plan includes a total of 28 actions, categorized into 6 main axes, through which it aims to address the deficiencies identified during the diagnostic phase and participatory process.

On June 3 and 4, 2018, the last international meeting of the European Keyway project led by D'EP Institut was held. This meeting, organized by HdBA in the German city of Manheim, focused on the presentation of the final version of the guide and discussed the testing phase of the tools with guidance services and practitioners. The final seminars will be held in June and July in the four participating countries. In Barcelona, the practical seminar “Evaluation of the impact of guidance services” will take place on July 5. During the session, at the Pati Manning of the Diputació de Barcelona, the impact evaluation of guidance services will be discussed and how it allows to value and measure the quality of guidance services, as well as to provide evidence to influence the design of public guidance policies.
