Summary/Abstract: Dealing with unexpected was one of the biggest challenges in the past year for governments and companies in all arias. As part of this response, authorities sprang into action to help protect citizens from this health threat while continuing to deliver services in communities. The project management needed to be constantly adapted and the managers had to make decisions under uncertainties. This paper presents the context of COVID-19 and an evaluation proposal for the situations encountered and the measures taken by the managers in projects financed under the European Union Operational Programme Human Capital. Taking the responsibility for others people lives, especially for those in need increases the pressure in time of crisis. Managing an unprecedented situation was not easy for the Romanian government, there were several decisions made for OP Human Capital projects. My focus will be to design an evaluation to measure the impact of Romanian government responses in the process of decision making at projects level (management) and especially for target groups, how the managers managed the projects based on the received directives in order to minimize the risks and damages.
