  16. Involvement of PC organisations in awarded projects - 1 As Beneficiaries: • Not very well represented (1), low level of representation (1) Reasons: Programme: • Only one MPC has been awarded due to its longer experience in managing projects

  17. Involvement of PC organisations in awarded projects - 2 As Partners: • Very well represented (1), well represented (2) Reasons: NCP: • To join efforts with other partners from different countries and benefit from their experience Programme: • There is an overall participation of all MPC involved in the Programme at project level • The number of partners from MPC is very well balanced • The rule of 50% of activities to be implemented in MPC could have definitely contributed to achieve this equal participation

  18. Main challenges - 1 As Applicants: NCP: • The proposal submitted by each applicant which shows the ability of the PC organizations in their fields Programme: • Enhance knowledge of the Programme rules • Lack of experience • Legislation • To manage funds - that seems to be complicated for some MPC countries

  19. Main challenges - 2 As Partners: NCP: • Difficulties are in finding the best partner in common fields Programme: • To improve knowledge of the management rules • Many organisations are not familiar with working in partnership • To achieve common objectives in a coordinated way • Low level of initiatives

  20. Success factors - PA beneficiaries & partners Reasons for success: • Well prepared project (2) • Project responds to the needs (2) Main challenges to be overcome • Identification of project components • Political situation that was dominating the life in the region How they were overcome • Participatory proposal writing • Work at the national level • Meetings between regional partners were held outside the region

  21. Reasons for not applying/not being successful – PA applicants, beneficiaries & partners • Our need to participate in workshop about how to find partners • Our need to participate in workshop concerning how to write proposal for this call • Not following up the proposal discussion process

  22. Level of involvement in applications – PA applicants, beneficiaries & partners • Active involvement that is also equal to the involvement of other Partners (4) • Member State partners have higher involvement than Partner Country partners (0) • The Lead Partner has been doing almost all of the work, partners being passive (0) • The level of our involvement is in line with what was planned (1) • We expected to be more involved in the project (0) • So far, we have had very little or no involvement in the project (1)

  23. Are MPC at a disadvantage? Yes (2) No (1) Reasons: Programme: • Less experience and resources to compete • Financial and legislative barriers

  24. Balanced participation • As long as the PC are represented in some way in all projects, this will be enough (2) • Equal treatment of all applicants is more important than balanced participation (1) • A balanced distribution of funds among participating countries is very important (2) • Balanced participation is extremely important for programme success (2) Explanation: • Balanced participation underlines a true and real co-ownership of the Programme

  25. What are you doing to facilitate involvement? NCP: • Professional committee studies all applications in details Programme: • Providing rules that boost MPCs participation in the call (50% rule for instance) • Awareness-raising and technical events • Any kind of communication actions • Programmes are not the main player to stimulate involvement
