5.6 Management of the CIP EQUAL and other HRD programmes funded from the ESF
Management and implementation of the transnational cooperation priority axis does not arise in vacuum, it follows up with the previous experience in management of similar programmes and it does not definitely assume that it will leave the begun tradition completely. On the contrary, this is obviously the solution to the basic question, the general problem connected with management of any programmes: namely to what extent to set the rules and restrictions in such a way that the exerted endeavour would really reflect in the improved quality of the implemented projects. It appears that obviously the surest answer is the link-up with the traditions, the implementing entities’ expectations and the previous experience, from which this results as a rule. The priority axis management must work necessarily with the context of the Czech environment, thus with the relatively low experience of the project implementing entities in transnational partnerships and (sometimes) with the partnership at all, smaller stability of institutions and weak links between the transnational and national level of the partnership. In the countries that were included in the evaluation, various measures were recommended and somewhere also implemented. For example, creation of a special measure or a project at the programme management level (not at the project level) was concerned, which will facilitate the process of search for the partners and formation of the transnational partnership; in some countries this type of measures is implemented in the form recommendation of minimum extent of the partnership, which countries to focus on when searching for partners (further to the national strategies), which activities shall be strengthened (it is generally recommended to limit generic activities that miss the concrete content); somewhere this principle was transposed into formation of a concrete physical institution, the mission of which is to support transnational partnership in the projects in the given programme. A recommendation to announce gradually successive calls, some of which (or each) will focus specifically of the concrete priority area, geographical territory or the types of activities, seems and an alternative to this model.
