SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC Thematic priorities in CBC Programmes – clear added value and impacts from cooperation

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC How to get better results and impacts from the CBC Programmes and projects? By limiting the focus in Programmes By improving the Programming logic By developing the Programme implementation By developing the know-how in project design and project cycle management

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC Limiting the focus of Programmes

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC Strategic objectives for CBC Defined in ”CBC strategy” –Promote economic and social development in regionas on both sides of common borders –Address common challenges, in fields such as environment, public health and the prevention of and fight against crime –Promotion of better conditions and modalities for ensuring the mobility of persons, goods and capital

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC Key starting point for programming: Regional focus of CBC Programmes Priorities and chosen measures in CBC programmes answer to the development needs of CBC regions Programmes contribute to national and regional strategies in addition to EU level objectives and priorities

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC Improving of the Programming logic

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC Programming logic From analysis to the selection of priorities and measures Analysis not starting from scratch – experiences from the existing programme Identification of needs and CBC gabs Priorities and measures chosen according to the analysis and identification of CBC needs+gabs Think about the logframe as a tool instead of SWOT

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC Programming logic Clear Programming logic makes your programme transparent: a common knowledge what kind of actions Programme expects Define the objectives and objetively verifiable indicators! Makes it easier to monitor, evaluate and report about the achievements of your programme Implement the Programme in the planned way – and develop the implementation mechanisms accordingly

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC Improving of the Programme implementation mechanisms

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC From strategy to projects Think about different ways how to get from theory to practice and choose the one(s) that best implement the Programme By too loose implementation mechanisms a good strategy (JOP) can be ruined

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC Examples of different approaches in Programme implementation Open call for proposals Restricted calls with two steps (project ideas / concept notes and full applications) Thematic calls Joint/parallel calls with other Programmes Direct award projects Chaining of activities with other programmes / financing bodies Preparatory / micro project

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC Developing of the project selection Develop the project selection criteria so that the stakeholders know already in the application phase what is expected and what requirements need to be fulfilled Select the projects according to the selection criteria Require quality from the projects – don’t accept good ideas but good ideas with clear project implementation methodology

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC Coordination and cooperation of projects With clear coordination and cooperation mechanisms it is possible to improve the quality of projects and also to get better results Regular cooperation, coordination and monitoring actions good to organise Thematic coordination with other programmes and initiatives operating in the same fields as the Programme

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC Development of the know-how in project design and project cycle management

SOUTH-EAST FINLAND - RUSSIA ENPI CBC kolarcticenpi.info | kareliaenpi.eu | southeastfinrusnpi.fi – ENPI CBC Project cycle management Knowledge and know-how in PCM improves also the effectiveness of projects (also in the point of view of outputs, results and impacts) Requires capacity building actions for both project stakeholders and Programme bodies –General trainings –Consultations during the call for proposals
