The BENEFITS project establishes the European Green Book for Social Services as a practical roadmap for evaluating whether social programmes truly make a difference in people's lives and at what cost.
This framework, developed through the Horizon Europe BENEFITS project and informed by established international evaluation standards, responds to a striking gap: across EU social services, systematic evidence on what works remains the exception rather than the rule.
Inside, you'll find a three-tier evaluation architecture, from simple Foundation Methods any small organisation can implement, through intermediate approaches for established programmes, to rigorous Advanced Methods for large-scale policy decisions.
You will also find real case studies from Finland, Denmark, England, and Germany, ready-to-use templates, and clear guidance on data governance and EU compliance.
