  1. Program and Project Compositionwithinthe EU CohesionPolicy Marcela Chreneková Department of Regional Development of the Faculty of European Studies and Regional Development, Slovak University of Agriculture in Nitra

  2. CohesionPolicy • Context • Principles • Instruments, priorities • Nationallevel (NSRF, OP) 2007-13 • Expectedimpact

  3. Context • EU Regional policy ... to reduce spatial disparities in economic • EU Structural policy ... to lessen gaps in development and living standards • EU Cohesion policy ... to maintain economic and social cohesion

  4. Principles • Programming- multi-annual • Concentration- of financial resources • Partnership - shared responsabilities • Additionnality – EU resources additional to the national effort • Management/Monitoring/Evaluation • Payments/Financial controls

  5. Instruments, priorities 2000-06 • Instruments: • the 4 Structural Funds (ERDF, ESF, EAGGF, FIFG) • Cohesion Fund, • ISPA, SAPARD, PHARE, CARDS • the EIB • Priorities : • Objectives 1, 2 and 3 • Community initiatives • Innovative Actions

  6. Instruments, priorities 2007-13 • Instruments: • 2 Structural Funds (ERDF, ESF) • Cohesion Fund, IPA • the EIB • Priorities : • 3 Objectives: 1) Convergence 2) Regional Competitiveness and Employment 3) European Territorial Co-operation

  7. National Level in V4 Countries Comparison of: • NSRF • OP according to objectives and covering funds

  8. Expected impact of Cohesion policy EU • 5-15% higher GDP in 2020 than without cohesion policy in most new MS • 2 million new jobs by 2015 in convergence regions • Decrease of unemployment by 20-30% • Positive effects multiplied by sound national policies (Ireland, Baltic states) • Overall positive effects on the whole EU-27 in a long term Source: The fourth cohesion report (May 2007) V4 ... specific for each country

  9. EU Programming • Levels • Periods(EU-10) • Documents • Program cycle • Program document composition • System of management of SF and CF • Monitoring, evaluation, indicators • Interventionlogic

  10. Programming levels • European • National • Regional • Local

  11. EU Programming periods 7 year periods • 2000-2006 period • 2007-2013 period ... possible adjustments after mid-term reviews

  12. Programming periods EU-10 • Pre-accession period • Shortened programmingperiod 2004 – 2006 • Current programming period 2007 - 2013

  14. EU Basic Programming documents 2004-2006 • National development plan • Sector operational programs • Program complements 2007-2013 • National Strategic Reference Framework • Operational programs

  17. NOTE: Program & Project Program • A Conceptualdocumentofthe EC, nationalgovernment or aninterestgroup to reachcertainobjective • A Framework, strategysolutionofexistingproblemswithin a territory • Definesstrategy • A decision and managementtoolof a developmentprocess • Realisationby means of projects Project • A Tool to executethe program, solveproblems and to reachobjectives • A logicalchainofsteps in certaintime to reachanobjective • Metodicallybuilt to defineactivities, thatmustbeexecutedforreachingtheobjective

  18. Program document composition(NSRF of the SR) Analysis • Description of the current situation • SWOT analysis Strategy • Strategy of the program • Impact of the program Implementation • Financial framework • Description of measures • Institutional framework • Implementation, monitoring and evaluation

  19. System of management Management, monitoring, assesment, and evaluation of SF and the CF, authorities and its roles System of Financial Management of SF and the CF for 2007 – 2013

  20. Program Evaluation Ex-ante Mid-term Ex-post

  21. Indicators • Establish to measure a program progress towards targets • Establish a basis for monitoring and evaluation • Common indicators reflecting Community priorities and objectives • Programme specific indicators defined at program level, reflecting national or regional needs • Context related indicators describing general circumstances of the geographical area covered by the program, socio-economic situation, environmental aspects • Objective related indicators giving information on initial situation

  22. Intervention Logic • methodological instrument • establishes the logical link between prog. Objectives, and operational actions • conceptual link from interventions input to its output, results and impacts, allows assess measures contribution to achieving its objects

  23. Intervention logic

  24. PROJECT COMPOSITION • Project intention • Problemidentification • Targetgroups • Partners • Interests • PCM, LFA • Basicprinciplesof EU projects

  25. Project Intention Idea LogisticStructure Impact Methodology

  26. Problem Identification • Collection maximum of information and information sources about the problem • Determination of: • Territorial scope of the problem • Number of subjects affected by the problem • Existing tools for solving the problem • Negative multiplication effects • Development tendency in the case of persisting the problem • Costs

  27. Problem Identification • To perceive identified problem in an evolution – in the context of its history, development in time and junction with the region... • To have immediate, direct contact with the problem – to be located in the place of its occurrence, to know well the region, stakeholders, and activities • To look for a reason and consequence... – so called problem tree

  28. Determination of target groups Criteria: • Geographic(territories, regions, separated villages...) • Demographic (age structure of inhabitants, household incomes, štruktúra pracovných miest a prac. príležitostí...) • Psychographic (social classfiication, life style...) • Groups defined in special documents (programming documents, strategies, operational programs)

  29. Partnership Free or institutionalized • Sharing skills and information • Participation on the project • Competences • Territorial dividing

  30. Recognition of vertical interest Subject that declares an interest: Document declarating the interest:

  31. Project Cycle Management

  32. Logical Framework Approach (LFA) • One of the PCM methods • A tool for management and planning • Way of identification and analyse of a situation/problem • Way of definition of objectives, outputs and activities to improve the situation/solve the problem

  33. Logical Framework Approach (LFA) 1. ANALYSIS PHASE 2. PLANNING PHASE

  34. Analysis phase • Stakeholder analysis • Problem analysis • Objective analysis • Strategy analysis

  35. Problem analysis • Problem identification and creating a problem structure - PROBLEM TREE CAUSE PROBLEM EFFECT

  36. UNEMPLOYMENT (EFFECT) LACK OF LOCAL ENTERPRISES BAD DEMOGRAPHICAL POTENTIAL (PROBLEM) (PROBLEM) COMPLICATED BAD TECHNICAL LOW EDUCATION BAD AGE LAND OWNERSHIP INFRASTRUCTURE STRUCTURE (CAUSE) (CAUSE) (CAUSE) (CAUSE)

  37. Analysis of Objectives • Description of future situation • Verification and confirmation of the objective hierarchy • Ilustration of relation between means and results/ends in a diagram that gives a clear overview of the desired future situation – OBJECTIVE TREE – reformulation all negative situations (problem tree) into positive situations that are desirable and realistically achievable

  38. RISE EMPLOYMENT RATE (RESULT/END) CREATING CONDITIONS IMPROVING FOR DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL DEMOGRAPHICAL POTENTIAL ENTERPRISES (OBJECTIVE 1) (OBJECTIVE 2) SETTLEMENT OF BUILDING TECHNICAL IMPROVING CREATING LAND OWNERSHIP INFRASTRUCTURE LEVEL OF CONDITIONS FOR EDUCATION YOUNG FAMILIES (MEAN) (MEAN) (MEAN) (MEAN)

  39. Analysis of Strategies • Identification possible strategies to reach objectives • Selecting strategy for the project Strategy 1 Creating conditions for development of local enterprises Strategy 2  Improving demographic potencial

  40. Planning phase • Developing Logical Framework matrix • Activity scheduling • Resource scheduling

  41. Intervention logic

  42. Interevention Logic – Project description • Objective hierarchy can be expressed by means of a cassuality: IF INPUTSARE PROVIDED,THEN ACTIVITIES CAN BE UNDERTAKEN IF ACTIVITIES ARE UNDERTAKEN, THEN RESULTS CAN BE PRODUCED IF RESULTS ARE PRODUCED, THEN THE PURPOSE WILL BE ACHIEVED IF THE PURPOSE IS ACHIEVED, THEN THIS CONTRIBUTES TO THE OVERALL OBJECTIVE BUT... ROLE OF MANAGEMENT (SIGNIFICANT DIRECT CONTROL OVER INPUTS, ACTIVITIES AND DELIVERY OF RESULTS)

  43. ...clear expressions • Overall objective: „To contribute to...“ • Purpose: „Increased/improved/built...“ • Results: „...delivered/produced/conducted.“ • Activities: „Prepare/design/research...“

  44. Activity and Resource Schedule L O G F R A M E ACTIVITY SCHEDULE RESOURCE SCHEDULE

  45. Project implementation • Monitoring, evaluation
