  2. Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Absorption progress of ERDF funds In the programming period incl. in 2006: • One open tender completed • 42agreements signed on implementation of open tender projects for LVL 6.4 M • 9 agreements signed on implementation of national programme projects for LVL 2.5 M • Implementation of 30 projects completed • Structural Fundsrepayments carried out for LVL 2.5 M 06.04.2006.

  3. Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Absorption progress of ESF funds incl. in 2006: • 3 open tenders launched repeatedly • ~ 500 projects evaluated • 274 agreements signed on implementation of open tender projects for LVL 11.6 M • 3 agreements signed on implementation of national programme projects for LVL 3 M • Implementation of 157 projects completed • Structural Fundsrepayments carried out for LVL3.1 M In the programming period 06.04.2006.

  4. Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma In 2007 ESF ERDF • Reallocation of funds within Measure 3.2 carried out • 139 project applications screened [average duration of quality screening 1 month] • Submitted to the ESF Steering Committee for approval list of projects with 18 projects for 709 thousand LVL [for the whole amount available] in the Activity “Development and implementation of pedagogical correction programmes” • Approved in the ESF Steering Committee support for 19 projects for 781 thousand LVL [for the whole amount available]in the Activity “Integration of youngsters with special needs into mainstream education system” for the whole funding available under the Activity • Proposal submitted for taking up overcommitments of ESF funds in the amount of LVL 1.86 M • As a result of reallocation of funds under the order of the Monitoring Committee additional funds of LVL 1 M allocated to Measure 2.5 • Approved overcommitment within the Activity “Provision of modern research equipment and infrastructure to state research institutions” of ERDF funds in the amount of LVL 1.5 M • Amendments to the National Programme “Provision of modern research equipment and infrastructure to state research institutions”, submitted to the ERDF Steering Committee, providing for implementation of 4 new projects 06.04.2006.

  7. Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Conclusions on progress for indicators in Measures 1.4 and 2.5 • There is reason to believe that the values of indicators in Measure 1.4 will increase, since there are 7 projects in implementation stage in 2007 • The number of projectsactually to be implemented under the Measure 2.5 is 84% of the planned, because as a result of an open tender financially more intensive projects were supported compared to initially planned levels – 42 projects (instead of planned 50) for 99% of available funding. The value of the indicator will not change, since repeated tenders will not be launched • In 2007 within the National Programme “Provision of modern research equipment and infrastructure to state research institutions” 4 additional projects have been approved that will have their contribution to progress in terms of indicator values reached 06.04.2006.

  11. Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Measure 3.2 (continued) 06.04.2006.

  12. Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma General problems • Functional interference in operation of the EU Structural Funds management information system – difficulties in creating reports and recording reached values for indicators • Long period of adopting decisions on approval of Structural Funds claims [in particular for ERDF activities] preventing approval of actual progress for indicators 06.04.2006.

  13. Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Conclusions on progress for indicators in Measure 3.2 1. It is forecasted that the value of one indicator – number of students received training internship –will not reach the level planned in Programme Complement. • The reasons to be mentioned are (1)seasonal nature of internships, as well as (2)problem of attracting social partners. SMEs who are the main partners in these projects are able to provide only a limited number of internships for students at the same time. On the other hand project implementors have given preference to larger projects looking for more beneficial positions of administrating such projects. The problem has been solved by reallocation of funding to activities with higher financial absorption capacity, creating preconditions for increase in values of other indicators. 2. In specific cases the result will be achieved in the planned amount or even exceeding the set values, however, the output indicator level will not be sufficient. • The reason for that is financially more instensive projects compared to what was planned initially. As a result the planned output levels will be achieved in a smaller number of projects. 06.04.2006.

  14. Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Conclusions (continued) 3. In specific cases there are problems of methodological nature for registration of indicator value. In activities for training of teachers, one teacher is attending several training courses, and it is done within several projects or even several activities. • The problem will be solved by the final beneficiaries of the SF funding requiring to define in details in the final reports for winding-up of a project the target group reached. • 4. The values of indicators have been reached in the planned amount or already exceeded, and exceeding the set indicator values is to be forecasted. • The main reasons for that being (1)reach of the target group, i.e., the target group is reached by investing comparatively smaller financial and other resources, and (2) activity of project applicants. 06.04.2006.

  15. Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Prezentējamā tēma Measure 3.3 “Combating social exclusion” • It is planned that the values of all indicators set will be exceeded, since as a result of reallocation of funding the activities have received additional funding, and in May 2007 the evaluation of projects from repeatedly launched tender was completed 06.04.2006.
