  • From objectives to activities and indicators

    The Beneficiary proposes to carry out activities
    Their success is measured by means of indicators

    Example:

  • The Project of a journey and access to information – preparation

    Preparation period – the Beneficiary gives information about the project undergoing preparation to be published

    Possible questions:

    Which is the real economic impact on local, county, regional communities? Environmental impact?
    Which are the measures for the use of renewable energy?
    How much do you expect the number of tourists to increase? On which fact do you count?
    After the rehabilitation of this school, how do you expect the quality and efficiency of education in city to increase?



  • The journey of a project and the access to information – submission

    The Beneficiary submits “the project” to the Intermediate Body .
    From that moment, North-West RDA is entitled to make public statements concerning the projects subject to evaluation
    The Beneficiary can make statements based on the project, as he is the legal owner of the application for financing and the documentation


  • The journey of a project and the access to information – contract signature


    Perceived as the climax, it is only the beginning …

    Possible questions:

    What is project implementation period?
    How many persons are in the project team?
    Are there enough funds at the local or county budget to support implementation?

  • The journey of a project and the access to information - implementation

    It lasts the most – it can last even for more than 36 months

    Possible questions besides those related to procurement:

    How long does it take for expenses within the project to be deducted?
    Why does the builder not work?
    What happens if works are not completed in time?
    What happens if works are finished earlier?


  • The journey of a project and the access to information – ribbon cutting

    This is fact the climax …

    Possible questions:

    What was the most difficult moment during implementation: when it snowed in April or when you did not have funds to pay for the equipments?
    Did you reach the growth indicator by 5% of the number of tourists?
    Will the ill be better looked after?
    Will our children be better trained?
    How much time do you need to maintain investment in the existing state before changing its destination?

  • The journey of a project and the access to information–the 3 or 5 post-implementation years

    The moment of truth: subjects of synthesis

    How did community benefited?
    What are the plans for the following projects?
    What are the directions for regional, county, local development?
