Essence of capitalisation projects • Starting point: pool of good practices • Core actors: policy makers (Managing Authorities) • Main activity: exchange of experience on transferring good practices to regional Operational Programmes • Main result: developing an ‘Action Plan’ for all participating regions ‘Capitalisation’ to be understood as ‘transfer’

  7. What are Capitalisation projects? Starting point: pool of good practices • A good practice is a successful policy experience at regional, local, national or European level • can also be a result of a previous project • PIKE project (pike-project.eu) builds on 4 good practices: • “Online Planning Services” (Ireland) • “Strategic Plan eLocal” (Spain) • “Integrated Aid System” (Spain) • “Wireless City” (UK) Their experience dates back to the INTERREG IIIC project BRISE (http://brise.ernact.net)

  8. What are Capitalisation projects? Core actors: policy makers • Bodies monitoring regional Operational Programmes • Managing Authorities as the main ‘target group’ • Intermediate bodies carrying out some or all tasks of the Managing Authorities If not partners, a standard letter of support is required! • Other regional/national bodies responsible for policy making • Other best practice ‘owners’: public authorities or bodies governed by public law

  9. What are Capitalisation projects? Main activities and results Focus: transferring good practices into regional Operational Programmes Development of Action Plans • Exchange of experience on how to transfer good practices to regional Operational Programmes: seminars, study visits, workshops, staff exchange, etc. • Dissemination activities • Management and coordination activities • Any implementation will be financed by the regional mainstream programmes, not by INTERREG IVC

  10. What are Capitalisation projects? Main result • Developing an ‘Action Plan’ for each participating region • An Action Plan includes detailed information about: • Good practice(s) to be transferred • Names and roles of stakeholders involved • Precise steps and actions to be undertaken • Relevant indicators for implementation • Details of funds for implementing the plan • The Action Plan should be signed by the respective Managing Authority and relevant stakeholders
