Project and Programme Management (Study Visit)

Upgrading the full application pack integrating better Analysis: Calls, Contracts, Claims and Checks

4 intensive days to improve Management, Monitoring and Control based on concrete Walk-through Checks with Beneficiaries and a good occasion to improve the design and implementation of new calls and Management & Control systems. This study visit will focus on the CBA and On-going Monitoring of  Project. Verification and Monitoring for both “soft” and “hard” interventions of Cohesion and RRF will be tackled to see concrete improvement of  economic calculation and data collection and reporting from beneficiaries to authorities. A panel of experts (including beneficiary representatives,..) will present their techniques, tools and checklists with a specific discussion about the type and level of corrections and possible improvement of checks and procurement, making also a particular focus on Green Energy Transition projects. How to make it efficient, fair and proportionate ? A good occasion to simplify and in the meantime to make more secure checks. A good occasion as well to visit and talk directly to Beneficiaries around Dubrovnik and make concrete illustration of findings and exchange of data.
