– Scottish Parliament written question – answered at on 12 November 2002.
Question S1W-31122
To ask the Scottish Executive what external monitoring and evaluation procedures are in place to assess whether projects funded by the New Opportunities Fund have been successful and who performs any such monitoring and evaluation.
The New Opportunities Fund (NOF) is a UK-wide body sponsored by the Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS). Responsibility for distributing funds from the National Lottery rests with the lottery distributing bodies. NOF, as a UK lottery distributor, is accountable to DCMS.
The monitoring and evaluation of individual New Opportunities Fund programmes is a matter for independent externally commissioned evaluation as well as the necessary audit requirements set out in the fund regulations.
The Scottish Executive meets regularly with NOF to discuss the progress and development of programmes and the pertinent issues.
