How to overcome Southern Cooperation Programme difficulties?
How to implement common approaches?
These were the main discussion points on Day One during the Laboratory group for a Mediterranean Platform. The main fields were about Management and Programmes visibility and the meeting objects were the followings: how to increase stakeholders awareness on common technical challenges addressed by the Platform; discussion on specific technical issues on Southern Programmes; finally look for agreed solutions in order to improve the overall performance of the Programmes.
Day two was focused on the Seminar on Strategic projects in territorial cooperation Programmes, in particular on generation, assessment and monitoring. This time the meeting became really concrete and specific because all the presentations were about real experiences. Main points of the debate were about finding out some governance processes in order to define common themes of interest and at the same time some assessment procedures. Our Managing Authority presented the General Programme Reference Framework on the first call for strategic projects: eligible area, projects typology, budget and submission procedure were the main issues of the presentation.
