How to get better results and impacts
from the CBC Programmes and
projects?
• By limiting the focus in Programmes
• By improving the Programming logic
• By developing the Programme
implementation
• By developing the know-how in project
design and project cycle management

Key starting point for programming:
Regional focus of CBC Programmes
• Priorities and chosen measures in CBC
programmes answer to the development
needs of CBC regions
• Programmes contribute to national and
regional strategies in addition to EU level
objectives and priorities

Programming logic
• From analysis to the selection of priorities and
measures
• Analysis not starting from scratch – experiences
from the existing programme
• Identification of needs and CBC gabs
• Priorities and measures chosen according to the
analysis and identification of CBC needs+gabs
• Think about the logframe as a tool instead of
SWOT

Programming logic
• Clear Programming logic makes your
programme transparent: a common knowledge
what kind of actions Programme expects
• Define the objectives and objetively verifiable
indicators!
• Makes it easier to monitor, evaluate and report
about the achievements of your programme
• Implement the Programme in the planned way
– and develop the implementation mechanisms
accordingly

From strategy to projects
• Think about different ways how to get from
theory to practice and choose the one(s)
that best implement the Programme
• By too loose implementation mechanisms a
good strategy (JOP) can be ruined

Examples of different approaches
in Programme implementation
• Open call for proposals
• Restricted calls with two steps (project ideas / concept
notes and full applications)
• Thematic calls
• Joint/parallel calls with other Programmes
• Direct award projects
• Chaining of activities with other programmes / financing
bodies
• Preparatory / micro project

Developing of the project selection
• Develop the project selection criteria so that
the stakeholders know already in the
application phase what is expected and what
requirements need to be fulfilled
• Select the projects according to the selection
criteria
• Require quality from the projects – don’t
accept good ideas but good ideas with clear
project implementation methodology

Coordination and cooperation of
projects
• With clear coordination and cooperation
mechanisms it is possible to improve the
quality of projects and also to get better
results
• Regular cooperation, coordination and
monitoring actions good to organise
• Thematic coordination with other
programmes and initiatives operating in the
same fields as the Programme

Project cycle management
• Knowledge and know-how in PCM improves
also the effectiveness of projects (also in the
point of view of outputs, results and
impacts)
• Requires capacity building actions for both
project stakeholders and Programme bodies
– General trainings
– Consultations during the call for proposals
