This follow-up brief recapitulates the evaluation of the Colombian Technology Foresight Programme (CTFP). The foresight brief no. 119 (“Evaluating Foresight – The Colombian Case”) summarised the methodological aspects and principal focus of the framework on which the evaluation of the second cycle (2005 – 2008) of the CTFP was based. The objective of the present follow-up brief is to look back and summarise the implications of the evaluation of the CTFP by drawing on the key findings of the evaluation summary report. Concretely, it focuses on (1) the appropriateness and adaptation of the evaluation framework, as well as the effects for the spread of a foresight culture in Colombia that have been induced or stimulated by the evaluation of the CTFP and (2) the institutional mechanisms in support of the social appropriation of the CTFP’s output and results as well as the dissemination of the foresight knowledge generated by the CTFP to policy, industry and society as a whole.
