  1. Result orientation: Telling the story of European Territorial Cooperation Skellefteå, 19 September 2013

  2. ETC 2007 - 2013

  3. Ex-post Evaluation of INTERREG III Only around half of the programmes focussed their financial resources on a limited number of priority topics (Strand A) Programmes generally adopted broad intervention strategies which did not concentrate financial support on a limited number of priority topics (Strand B) Mixed results were obtained with regard to improving the effectiveness of instruments for regional development and cohesion policies. (Strand C)

  4. What is proposed for 2014-2020? • More concentration – to maximise effects • A renewed focus on Programme intervention logic • A focus on results (not only spending) • Better gathering of basic data on outputs • Integration of evaluation into the whole policy cycle • Budget similar to 2006-2013 period

  5. Concentration and focus

  6. Priority axis: intervention logic Thematic objectives (art.9 CPR) Programme specific objectives what the programme wants to achieve, taking into account needs and potentials of the territory Result indicators Investment priorities (art.5 ERDF, art.6 ETC) Description of actions needed to achieve the specific objectives Output Indicators

  7. What do ETC programmes deliver? New and maintained jobs Support to business development 18.000 km of roads, routes, railways etc Investments in environment, waste management, energy efficiency BUT Similar outputs are delivered also by the Objective 1 and 2 programmes. Why finance the same under ETC?

  8. ETC programmes also produced New and extended cooperation networks Cooperation agreements Joint cultural, natural, urban and rural actions Trainings and events with half a million participants BUT What has changed as a resulted of these for the people and businesses in the programme area?

  9. Clarification of ETC objective European Territorial Cooperation programmes contribute to the overall (economic, social / societal and territorial) cohesion of the EU by supporting cohesion of respective cross-border or transnational programme areas and by working together with shared assets and/or common challenges EU level vision & strategic framework Vision / strategy and mission for the programme area

  10. Types of change (=results) ETC delivers Integration related: common identity; integrated services, business & education frameworks; common branding; improved cross-border flows & accessibility; territorial governance; cooperation on community level Investments in physical, economic and social infrastructure (filling in the gaps); in environment; in common assets; preparation of such investments; development of solutions for joint challenges Performance related: improved organisational / governance capacity; improved regional peformance

  11. Taking care of the shared (natural, cultural, physical, economic, human) assets and working together to address common challenges Joint actvities supporting the economic, social and territorial cohesion of the cooperation area: reducing disparities, improving accessibility, building on strengths & accumulated critical mass Terri torial governance framework Creating and sustaining the cooperation culture – people to people and community level cooperation COHESION 12

  14. What is your dream? 16

  15. Consultation Workshop NPP Annual Conference, 19th September 2013 – Skellefteå, Sweden Katerina Staneva & Kirsti Mijnhijmer

  16. What do we aim to achieve? • Provide an opportunity for a reality check • Provide an opportunity for feedback concerning how operational the intervention logic is • To be seen as an introduction into the new way of thinking of the programme • Provide food for thought of what is the knock –on effect of the programme to the project intervention logic

  17. Priority axis: intervention logic Thematic objectives (art.9 CPR) Programme specific objectives what the programme wants to achieve, taking into account needs and potentials of the territory Result indicators Investment priorities (art.5 ERDF, art.6 ETC) Description of actions needed to achieve the specific objectives Output Indicators

  18. What do we aim to achieve? • Result – what is intended to be changed • Result indicator – the specific aspects of the result that lend themselves to be measured • Baseline – situation before the intervention • Target – situation after the intervention • Target group – those, whose well-being is affected by the intervention • Beneficiary – actors participating in projects • Output s – direct products of the programme, intended to contribute to results

  19. Priority Structure

  20. Inside each priority

  21. Next steps • Consultation of contents chapters • Workshop with stakeholders at NPP Annual Conference 19th September, Skellefteå, Sweden. Main question: Are the priorities workable? • Public consultations in programme partner countries organised by Regional Contact Points (20th September-15th October) • Establishing implementation framework • No major changes expected in budget and setup. Geography unchanged. • Simplification and harmonisation measures. • Timeline (best case scenario): • December 2013: PMC approval Operational Programme • June-Sep 2014: European Commission approval  programme launch.

  22. Group work 1 • Per table, identify 1 – 2 project ideas linked to the group’s theme • Briefly describe what is the project idea about • What joint programme area need does it address?

  23. What do theylead to?

  24. Group work 2 • Please describe the main objective of the project – try to describe the change it will contribute to • What type of project result category will best reflect the change envisaged? • Reflect on the aspects provided in the quality checklist

  25. Group work 3 • Time for reality check!
