  7. Serbia needs to be more competitive for funds

  8. “Reputation” “Reputacija”

  9. Building a good Reputation for Serbia. For a donor/IFI/investor it means: • Lower risk; • Ability to spend budgets; • Building to a critical mass; *IPA II, 2014-2020, will include a performance reserve, in order to reward countries with good performance, and allow more flexibility to re-allocate funds.

  10. How to do ‘good’ projects? • Programming; • Formulation; • Financing; • Implementation; • Operations and Evaluation; START

  11. 1. Programming • Strategic Planning: • Be clear about what the overall goal is.. • Make sure that is really Serbia’s goal; • Clear priorities; • Create a choice. €10.6bn EU Acquis

  12. 2. Identification • Engineers, implementers: Do you have clear guidance on the national goals? • Policy makers: Are you learning from practical experience? • Both: Can you demonstrate a logical sequence for the decisions you have made?

  13. 3. Formulation local government Engage your partners: • Don’t assume they have the same views and information that you do. • Make use of their strengths – knowledge, funds, credibility. • Manage expectations. academics donors experts parliament NGOs central government Banks private sector

  14. 3. Formulation (cont.) • Engage Partners. • Design – technical, institutional, administrative and financial; • Implementation Proposal – capacity and capability. Build in phases? See financing. • Pilot projects! Time Quality Cost

  15. 4. Financing • Everyone’s problem and everyone’s solution – designers, implementers, policy makers. • Common sense – if it does not sound affordable then it probably is not. Do you need it all now? • Assume the worst – costs will rise. E.g.: Lithuania.

  16. Implementation: Managing Expertise

  17. 5. Implementation Managing Experts: • Provide a clear brief and guidance. Not just ToR. • For the government: Consultants are not gods, nor friends, nor enemies. • For the consultants: remember this too. Understand what you want from consultants, expect good work and check it.

  18. 5. Implementation • Risk – build in phases; • Partners – are they properly participating? • Closing projects – the hardest part.

  19. 6. Operations & Evaluation • Did you save any money for operating the facility and who will do it? • Learn from it. • Tell everyone about the good parts. “Pohvalite se!” Because… money follows success.
