Manuel Desantes

  5. Cooperation Policy, NAPs, and Indicators • NAPs form the basis for co-operation activities. • In the NAP, the NO aims to fit in and connect to the National Strategic Reference Framework (NSFR) of its country => high level priorities of MS and EU. • NAPs • Contain project plans; • Demonstrate objectives-oriented, comprehensive planning approach; • Form the basis for monitoring, evaluation and reporting towards objectives; • Assure transparency through an efficient and targeted use of cooperation funds; Manuel Desantes
