Operation/Project Monitoring:

It is the systematic collection of relevant information (quantitative and qualitative data)

4



Monitoring must be regarded as a fundamental part of both operation management (you) and programme management (us).

It is important that all involved in implementing and managing the activities, ie: ERAs (you) and the Programme’s Operating

Structure (us) understand the need to collect data at operation level

5



PART 1

The European Commission’s Guidelines at the outset of the current Programming period included a series of working papers addressing monitoring issues. Following these working papers, the RCOP has categorised all monitoring data around two categories of indicators, output indicators and result indicators:

6



PART 1

Outputs are the tangible deliverables of the operation. They directly result from the activities carried out in the project. They report on what the main ‘products’ delivered by the project are.

Results are direct and immediate effects resulting from the project and from the production of the outputs. They do not report on the ‘what’ but on why the project is delivering the specific outputs

7



PART 1

8



a/ Pre-defined indicators at programme level

Each project/operation is requested to fill in a certain number of pre-defined output and result indicators according to the Measure and Priority that the operation belongs to.

b/ Self-defined indicators

In addition to the pre-defined indicators, each operation has the opportunity to define its own output and result indicators. These ‘self-defined’ indicators have to be provided at the relevant sections of the OIS.

9



Suitable Priority and Measure output and result indicators were identified at the time for the RCOP and targets have been set. Every operation financed by the Programme is contributing to the achievement of the Programme indicators.

Output and Result indicators are also set for each operation accepted for assistance and that information SHOULD BE included in the respective OIS.

10



In this way, ERAs have to acknowledge the fact that their assisted operation is contributing to the realization of the relevant measure level targets and, thereby, to the priority and the RCOP targets set when the European Commission approved the Programme.

11



Moreover, even if monitoring is all about achieving a sound project management for your operation, it also has to be regarded as an obligation coming from the regulatory framework that rules RCOP:

12



IPA Regulation: OS to prepare a yearly Sectoral Annual Implementation Report

Financing Agreement: OS to prepare every six months Operation Monitoring Sheets

Therefore, you need to provide the necessary information…..

13



In this respect, the Operational Agreement establishes us a clear obligation of ERAs:

ERA will have to submit reports to the CA by “preparing the Initial Data Entry Form, the required Progress Reports and the Final Report concerning the operation and the progress in the implementation in due time”.

The ERA will have to prepare all information and documents requested by the OS/CA until the termination of the sustainability period of operation determined by the relevant parties.
