... The evaluation project
“Evaluation of CIP EQUAL Transnational Cooperation Principle” commissioned
by the Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs of the Czech Republic (MoLSA)
took place in the period from April to October 2008 in the territory
of the Czech Republic and ten European Union (EU) countries, to be specific,
in Austria, in Germany, in Poland, in Slovakia, in the Netherlands,
in the United Kingdom, in Portugal, in Spain, in Italy and in France.
The individual evaluation steps, i.e. analysis of documents, questionnaire
survey, evaluation visits and interviews, case studies, focus groups,
SWOT and process analysis took place in accordance with the stipulated
time schedule. The evaluation output was in total six reports (including
this Final Report), which, in accordance with the stipulated time schedule
and the contract, answered the individual evaluation tasks and questions. ...

... SWOT analysis was applied
in the evaluation at two levels: 1) as a supporting analytical method
in evaluation of results of the particular activities and 2) as a general
matrix of evaluation of potential, results and threats of the actually
implemented transnational cooperation within the framework of individual
DP from CZ and the selected EU countries. The SWOT analysis was also
used successfully for assessment of functioning of the transnational
partnership in different cultural environments, which are given by different
tradition, experience, social economical and political background. More
detailed information on this utilisation of the SWOT analysis is mentioned
in the chapter on concrete realization of the evaluation. ...

6.1 Topic 1: Part of the study focused on the support in the preparation the first call of Priority axis Transnational Cooperation OP LZZ [go to this article ]
... 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. ...
6.5 Topic 5: Analysis of interesting approaches and specific areas of HRD in other EU countries [go to this article ]
... A specific part of the
study answered also the question of relevant HRD areas, on which it
would be desirable to focus the projects implemented in the form of
transnational cooperation in the following programming period. In the
time of processing this part of the evaluation only a call from France
for projects in transnational cooperation, strategic documents of HRD
and related areas from ten EU countries included in this evaluation
(see the list of sources in the annex hereto) and evaluation reports
concerning this topic from Poland and Austria were available. The evaluation
team was coming out from the findings from the evaluation visits, study
of documents and expert recommendations. While some countries have the
orientation of the transnational cooperation in HDR defined according
to the appropriate strategic documents thematically (if ever), other
countries prefer regional orientation (less frequent case). For this
reason the expert team combined both approaches and to do so it used
the SWOT method, thus it divided the analysis according to individual
countries and specified further the topics, which are recommended for
cooperation with the given country. However, the SWOT analysis defined
also a wider context, in which these topics come into question for Czech
organisations and identified risks connected with it. In any case it
is necessary to point out that these topics are secondary ones; really
primary is what was broken down in the First Interim Report in more
details, thus success in negotiating and planning of the partnership,
equilibrium of the partners, understanding and sharing joint objectives
and values. The topics we have singled out for the orientation of the
HRD projects implemented in the form of transnational cooperation are
the following ones: social economy and entrepreneurship (IT, PT), employment
services and advanced vocational training (UK, AT, FR), community development,
local partnership and wider partnership networks (UK, NL), social area,
inclusion and inclusion strategies (NL, DE, FR, UK, ES), research (HU,
PL, DE), Public Private Partnership and intersectoral cooperation (DE),
industry restructuring (ES), tourist industry (ES), cultural heritage
(ES, FR and the like). ...
