In reality…. Blankety Blank! (!*!*?*!! aargh!)
So where next? • Relationships • Eligibility • Administration • Claims
Relationships Clear understanding of our respective roles in implementing Local Development Strategies - LDS Partnership (LAG) – constitution? - LDS Host Organisation – MoU/SLA? - Paying Agency/Managing Authority – SLA - Local Development Strategy Strategic Board – refreshed with focus on outcomes? - LEADER network - SLA contact group (with PA), Co-ordinators Group
Eligibility • Rural Development Regulation (and where appropriate EMFF regulation) • Rural Development (Fisheries) Programme • Local Development Strategies – setting out themes and potential actions. • MA to ensure fit with relevant programmes (including demarcation with Structural Funds)
Administration • Consider your own approach - how implementation could match LDS objectives, • Introduce web based IT Platform • Guidance underpinning processes • Ongoing learning/training – enhanced role for NRN • Dedicated NRN/MA support for co-operation actions • Funding to ensure capacity
Claims As before, i.e. Running costs and projects paid locally then subsequently reclaimed from SG/EU - robust, transparent and proportionate monitoring by SG. - Positive, open and honest relationship….
2014 and all that…. • Lots happening…. • Dialogue ongoing… • Outcomes from today very important • Day long workshop on implementation related issues 28th April • Expanded LSB (21st May) to consider business planning guidance (for issue late May).
