Fisheries and aquaculture monitoring and evaluation (FAME)

FAME develops a common monitoring and evaluation system for EMFF.

Like the other European structural and investment funds, the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund (EMFF) adopted a reinforced result-orientation for the 2014-2020 period and must demonstrate that it delivers results that go beyond mere financial consumption.

FAME supports the European Commission and EU countries in building capacity across all components of the common monitoring and evaluation system (CMES) and ensures that effective and efficient systems are in place, delivering the information required by the Common Provision Regulation (CPR) and the EMFF Regulation.

To achieve this aim, the Commission established a support unit in 2015 with the following objectives

  • assist in monitoring and evaluating the implementation of the EMFF and provide the Commission with regular updates and analysis of the state of play of the implementation of the EMFF
  • build capacity across EU countries and in the Commission on evaluation and monitoring methodologies, indicators and good practices

The FAME support unit brings together a network of experts with a wide range of professional experiences relevant to the project. The core team of the FAME support unit is based in Brussels and provides support at EU level and in the EU countries through working papers, reports, stories presenting good projects, workshops, presentations, needs assessments, peer reviews and trainings.
