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.
