State of the Art Current period (2/2)

“The in-depth interviews and analysis of projects results (particularly deliverables) reveal that situations are complex. The types of situations/projects are very diverse.

• At the conclusion of their work, some 'traditional' projects appear to be projects that could be categorised as 'strategic'.

• Others appear to be a combination of local projects, where the transnational element has generally been achieved but with very limited ambition.

• High quality projects and results which have not benefited from the right partnership to produce results and which are very unlikely to result in any sustainability.”

Evaluation of implemented projectsSome findings on results*

- Selection of projects: • More qualitative information inserted in a simplified application form• More targeted calls, better understanding of programme expectations• Technical of scientific expertise to support selection process

- Monitoring and support in implementation of project activities:• Structured animation• Improvement of monitoring methods and tools ( incl. tools to enable use

of meta-indicators)

- Assessment and capitalisation of outputs and results:

• Setting up a technical qualitative evaluation for final outputs and results insisting from the AF on the obligation of results

• Better structure and coordination of process

Some recommendations Next programming period

ChallengesNext programming period

MED projects generate three types of outputs, corresponding to three different phases:

• Exploration of intervention fields and state of the art > action plan• Experimentation with operational activities, pilot projects• Capitalisation and dissemination of outputs and practices

Applicants can set up projects on one, two or three different phases

* Task Force

Solutions « under review »*Type of calls / projects

Projects with two or three phases:

• Each phase is considered as a project• Applicants must achieve the main objectives of one phase before

applying for the next one• The implementation of the following phase is submitted to a new

selection process through a new application

Different competencies for each stage/phase (new partnerships)

Solutions « under review »Type of calls / projects

For one single call, projects can be of different profile and dimension:

• Micro-projects, small budgets focused on targeted issues / pilot actions (intermediary bodies, private bodies, research centres…)

• Large projects with institutional partners, larger networks, important territorial coverage, etc.

Pilot actions• Concrete and measurable activities• Innovative dimension• Possibility of small scale investments

Solutions « under review »Type of calls / projects

• Support of external expertise for selection and evaluation of technical aspects of outputs and results

• Set of relevant indicators (on-going working group for TF)

• Integration of additional monitoring tools on PRESAGE in addition to reporting procedures to feed indicators

• Harmonization of monitoring approach, more participative, involving NCP, LO for more effective and efficient dissemination and capitalisation process

Solutions « under review »Necessary complementary adjustments

Evaluation of the future MED ProgrammePRINCIPLES

Reduce identified limited zone of readability for :

• more accurate and deeper knowledge of projects implementation, • qualitative monitoring and support, • deeper analysis of outputs and results ,

better decision making process for programme adjustments and capitalisation
