Analysis and Evaluation of Anti-discrimination action

Analysis and evaluation of policy and activities form the first objective, or 'strand', of the Community Action Programme to combat discrimination. The term covers a large range of actions from monitoring and analysis of the implementation of the Racial Equality Directive and Employment Equality Directive by expert groups, to the commissioning of publications on specific non-discrimination issues. The outputs of these activities assist the European Commission in both assessing the extent of discrimination in the European Union and the impact of its work in its elimination. They also influence how the Community Action Programme shapes its future undertakings.

The Community Action Programme organises analysis and evaluation in the anti-discrimination sector into the following categories:

- Monitoring and analysis of the implementation of the Equal Treatment Directives

- Studies and reports on discrimination-related issues

- Measuring the extent and impact of discrimination in Europe

- Evaluating the Community Action Programme
