An Evaluation of the Green Low-Carbon Agri-Environment Scheme (GLAS)

The Department wishes to obtain a service to carry out an evaluation of the implementation of the GLAS measures and the overall purpose of the evaluation required by this RFT is a. to assess the effectiveness of GLAS as a contributory measure towards sustainable Irish agriculture under the RDP 2014-2020; b. to assess its contribution towards the achievement of wider environmental objectives; and c. to fulfil, in part at least, Ireland’s commitment towards the monitoring and evaluation requirements set out in the RDP. To achieve this, the successful tenderer will be required to undertake a quantitative and qualitative environmental assessment of GLAS to evaluate the impact of the various actions within GLAS on the environment. This assessment will thus provide separate but complementary information to the mandatory indicator reporting requirements under Ireland’s RDP evaluation plan. In order to design and implement an effective and cost-efficient longitudinal study appropriate levels of access to the GLAS database will be provided by DAFM to any successful tenderer(s). The exercise will also help DAFM identify any necessary future improvements required to achieve policy aims.
