OP LZZ
... The Community Initiative
EQUAL differed from the main forms of the aid from the
European Social
Fund (ESF) in the past periods, among others, by the
transnational cooperation
principle. During the 2007–2013 programming period, within the framework
of the ESF programmes, also the chosen principles of the Community Initiative
EQUAL are supported in cross-sectional way for the very first time.
To be specific, besides the partnership and innovativeness principles,
the
transnational cooperation principle is concerned; the experience
from
CIP EQUAL is transposed into the
Human Resources and Employment
Operational Programme (
OP LZZ), in which the
transnational cooperation
is included in the form of priority axes, to be specific, these are
Priority axis 5a
Transnational Cooperation (Convergence) and Priority
axis 5b
Transnational Cooperation (Regional Competitiveness and Employment).
It is assumed that fulfilment of the
transnational cooperation principle
will enable to achieve still better results of the individual projects
than those that would be able to be achieved without its application.
Thus the sense of the
evaluation of the
transnational cooperation principle
CIP EQUAL was, among others, to contribute to the improved quality of
the results of the 2007-2013 programming period. ...

... Within the framework
of
OP LZZ, it is possible to fulfil the
transnational cooperation principle
either at the level of separate projects directly based on the
transnational
cooperation but also horizontally, thus the
transnational cooperation
principle should apply in each of the
OP LZZ financed projects if it
increases its
effectiveness and quality.
It is assumed that fulfilment
of the transnational cooperation principle will enable to achieve still
better results of individual projects than those that would be able
to be achieved without its application.

... The
evaluation commenced
with considerable delay, the data of handover of the interim reports
were slightly postponed but the date of the Final Report handover was
not postponed. This has lead to great pressure upon the
evaluation time
schedule, a whole number of the implementation stages had to overlap
each other, the
evaluation reports (in particular the Input Report and
the First
Evaluation Report) were formulated as preliminary in many
aspects. Thus the outputs had to be supplemented with as special study
called “Study Focused on Support in Preparation of the Calls of
OP
LZZ Transnational Cooperation Priority Axis”, output No. 4 of the
project. ...

on Support in Preparation of the Calls of

Priority Axis”, (8 July 2008), output No. 4 of the project. ...
... The original time schedule
of the project assumed that this part would be drawn up as the first
one and would be a part of the Input Report. Due to the overall shift
in commencement of the
evaluation and procedure of successive works,
the framework introduction in the First Input Report was supplemented
by the document of July 2008. Above all, the first outputs from the
questionnaires and realized visits and interviews were used in it. Study
of documents and advices of people involved in
CIP EQUAL management
abroad were used to great extent; background research of the available
sources was carried out, namely both of the documents concerning
OP
LZZ and the given priority axis and also the related documents (in the
time of processing the task only a document from France was available),
methodologies to
transnational cooperation in general and above all
the evaluations and good experience (what proved useful, how the
transnational
cooperation actually proceeds). For the purpose of consideration of
the suitable areas of intervention and suitability of selection of the
partners, the
evaluation team drew up a
SWOT analysis based on the experience
from the partnership across countries, and summarises thus the specifics
of the environment, topics, conditions, cultural and historical tradition,
experience and potential for partnership with bodies from CZ. These
findings were transposed into relevant recommendations. The Third Interim
Report followed up with this process. ...
