Abstract
Assessing the impact that European Funds have on people's lives is an area that has received the attention of researchers and institutions. On the one hand, citizens demand better results and more information, on the other hand, institutions need methodologies that allow them to measure the impact of investments. Considering an investment horizon of 14 years (between 2007 and 2020) and a development assessment period of 7 years (between 2014 and 2020), this research uses a DEA methodology to evaluate how the 308 Portuguese municipalities use financial and human resources (inputs) to achieve sustainable development (output). As a result, each municipality is characterized by a CCR efficiency measure, being positioned towards the efficient frontier. In this way, it is possible to identify municipalities with best practices and the effort required from the rest to achieve them. Graphic maps facilitate the communication of information by illustrating the distribution of efficiency throughout the territory.
