"Main Management Challenges for the ENPI CBC" Conference

17.11.2008 | Marseille
INTERACT ENPI organised a conference in close cooperation with the EC Services of EuropeAid Cooperation Office and RCBI project, on the "Main management challenges for ENPI CBC", in Marseille on 17 and 18 November.

The INTERACT ENPI launching event “Main management challenges for the ENPI CBC” was held in Marseille, France, on 17 and 18 November 2008. 126 participants representing all 13 ENPI CBC programmes discussed the main management challenges of the ENPI CBC programmes in four workshop sessions: joint management structures, call for proposals, implementation and evaluation and verification. A separate workshop session was organised to gather the needs of the programmes towards the INTERACT ENPI project.

INTERACT ENPI gathered the needs of the ENPI CBC programmes in four areas: sending needs assessment forms to programmes prior to the Marseille launching event, organising a needs assessment workshop as part of the launching event, gathering interest assessment forms from the launch event participants and direct discussions with the programme representatives in order to verify information gathered from the forms.

Needs assessment showed clearly that programmes are in most cases in the phase where their interest is very much focused on coming first rounds of calls for proposals and implementation of their programmes. Mostly programmes want services to be delivered to them in the form of learning events, advisory services or different online tools.
