Findings / Recommendations In general the measures were effective and efficient. No problem with consistency and coherency Weaknesses in the strategic coordination Better coordination mechanisms between the MA and the involved ministries Some weaknesses in the management system More flexible rules in some areas / decreasing the administrative burdens The indicators used by the monitoring system cannot provide proper information about the performance of the sub-measures More differnetiated indicators are needed to make possible the evaluation of the different sub-measures
