Evaluation

With over 20 economic and socio-cultural assessment projects completed, the evaluation activity has helped frame cultural capital as a “patient” form of capital—capable of producing long-term effects through widespread and lasting externalities.

Within this context, the Foundation has focused on placing culture at the heart of decision-making processes, treating it as a structural variable capable of guiding strategic choices, investments, and public policies.

Over the years, the Foundation has developed and implemented an integrated set of methodologies, including project reporting and monitoring; analysis and cross-referencing of both primary and secondary data, qualitative and quantitative—through surveys, interviews, and focus groups—to inform present and future decision-making from a foresight perspective; as well as tools for content and sentiment analysis and methodologies for economic impact assessment (EIA).
