Evaluation of regional selective assistance (RSA) and its successor, selective finance for investment in England (SFIE)

Year: 2008
Type: report
Abstract: The overall aim of this evaluation is to assess the impact of the RSA and SFIE Schemes in light of their objectives. In particular, a critical aspect of the evaluation is to assess whether changing the scheme in 2004, from RSA to SFIE, has increased the impact of the scheme. The specific research objectives set out by BERR were to: Test the validity of the key assumptions underlying the rationale for the old RSA Scheme and, more specifically, the new SFIE Scheme; Assess the outcomes of funded projects against objectives with the key measure being productivity, skilled jobs and spillovers; in the case of the RSA Scheme the principle objective in the period 2000-04 was to increase jobs.
