- the relevance and added value of PUM's support to local SMEs and Business Support Organisations;
- the effectiveness and efficiency of PUM's impact-driven and more programme-based approach; and
- lessons and recommendations for possible future cooperation.
In sum, the report provides insight in to what extent PUM contributes to sustainable and inclusive economic development.
