The 2021 ongoing evaluation report assesses the Aragon Rural Development Programme (RDP) 2014-2022, aiming to advance the analysis of RDP effects for the ex-post evaluation, due in 2026.

Key objectives of the evaluation included verifying data availability for socio-economic impact indicators, updating context indicators and reviewing recommendations from the previous evaluation, while good practice case studies are also presented. Findings include SEO/BirdLife's updated context indicator ‘ICC35’ (Index of birds linked to agricultural environments) showing a decline in agricultural land bird populations from 1998 to 2021, while forest environments exhibit a positive rate of change in associated bird populations.
