ESIF programme monitoring system:
Projects selected by urban authorities; results fed into the OP monitoring system.
ESIF strategy monitoring system:
Shared between the implementing body and the programme authority.
Urban authorities interested not just in contribution to programmes, but also in the impacts on the territory.
Domestic strategy monitoring system:
For pre-existing strategies, results are measured in terms of their contributions to the city contract, not all part of the OP.
