Implementation 2007 – LA participation

First observations:

• Considerably lower participation in comparison to NSA

• Not all countries were represented

Possible explanations:

• New programme – more information needed• Less familiarity with EC procedures• Not enough time to prepare proposals

EuropeAid

What’s new

1. Highlighting LA specificities and promoting synergies between LA and NSA

2. Finding funding opportunities for good proposals that cannot be financed under CfPs (more time needed after the call)

3. Reduce unmatched expectations by more targeted dissemination prior to publication of calls

4. More dialogue and monitoring

EuropeAid

IMPLEMENTATION • Call every TWO YEARS with more and better MARKETING

and after SALE SERVICE• Auction floor testing phase will start• LA Call in 2008 (for 2008 and 2009 budget) will be specific
