Webinar on Results Data Collection for Implementing Partners

This year for the first time, the annual results data collection will take place entirely in OPSYS. To support Implementing Partners, a trilingual awareness webinar series on the Results Data Collection Campaign in OPSYS has been organised. The same content will be presented in English, French and Spanish. This webinar series is brought to you by the OPSYS Change Management team (DG INTPA R5) in collaboration with the Unit for Performance, Results and Evaluation (DG INTPA D4), the Unit for Coordination of Financing Instruments - performance, results and evaluation (DG NEAR A4) and Unit for Budget, Finance, Relations with other Institutions (FPI 4).

As you know, the Commission is obliged to capture and report on results in the field of external cooperation which stems not only from Article 33 of the Financial Regulation but also from its own policy on budgetary performance. It is hence essential to source credible evidence and verifiable results to provide greater transparency on results for all stakeholders.

The upcoming results data collection for the year 2022 will cover primary interventions funded under MFF 2014-2020 that started before 01/01/2022 and which have an EU contribution above EUR 750,000. This threshold does not apply to FPI as the Service will report 100% on all its interventions. This year’s sample will still not include interventions from the EU Trust Funds (EUTF) however it can be expected to happen in OPSYS next year. These webinars will prepare you for the upcoming tasks. Please note that the full reporting on results achieved with funds under the MFF 2021-20276 is expected to start in the forthcoming exercise in one year’s time. They are hence outside the purview of this year’s exercise.

Please note that the aggregated data collected for the indicators of the EU Results Framework and IPA Performance Framework and the FPI Results Framework will be used for reporting in the Annual Report on implementation of the European Union’s instruments for financing external actions in 2022 and other reporting. It will also support the strategic evaluation of MFF 2014-20 instruments and provide trends for the Mid-Term Review of NDICI-Global Europe and IPA III. In this context, your support as Implementing Partners to encode details in the logical frameworks and add the latest results in OPSYS is essential.

Please join this webinar and/or watch the video recording to be informed about the specificities of this results reporting campaign. Don’t forget to become a member of the OPSYS Forum in Capacity4Dev to stay connected.

Wishing you all the best!
