Implementation of Partnership Principle in Programming of the Home Affairs Funds 2014-2020

Seminar
Implementation of Partnership Principle
in Programming of the Home Affairs
Funds 2014-2020
Maastricht (NL), 9-10 October 2014
European Institute of Public Administration
Institut européen d’administration publique
Introduction
Target group
Public authorities and bodies competent at national, regional
and local level, who are in charge of the Home Affairs Funds
(AMIF and ISF), international organisations, NGOs, social
partners and/or beneficiaries, as well as project managers
involved in the development and implementation of actions/
projects and programmes. The seminar is also open to
specialised consultancies and academics.
Learning methodology
As the seminar will be of a participatory nature, the participants
will be strongly encouraged to actively take part in discussions
and workshops throughout the entire programme. Moreover,
they will have ample opportunity to informally exchange views
and experiences on the structure and implementation of the
partnership principle, both with the speakers and amongst
themselves.
Description
Migration issues are by their very nature complex and are
addressed by a large number of actors, such as governments,
civil society and international organisations. Partnership
has been a key principle for the migration (SOLID) funds,
managed together by the EU and Member States in ‘shared
management’. The novelty for better implementation of the
partnership principle is that in the new programming period
(2014-2020), each Member State is requested to be responsible
for establishing in a consistent manner the composition of the
partnership and the practical arrangements concerning its
implementation throughout the national programme cycle.
Objectives
The objectives of this new two-day seminar are:
1. to support the Member States to identify, organise, consult,
involve, inform the relevant partners on their involvement by
addressing main principles;
2.to increase the capacity of the Member States in the
partnership-building in the preparation, implementation,
monitoring and evaluation of the national programmes;
3. to facilitate the exchange of good practice and dissemination
of relevant outcomes among Member States, responsible
authorities and representatives of the partners.
