guidelines Assessment and project evaluation Interact ENPI 2011

The evaluation of the applications submitted by cross-border partnerships following the launch of calls for proposals is a crucial step in the implementation of ENPI CBC programmes, affecting its efficiency and effectiveness.

The purpose of this Guide is to support the persons responsible for the preparation, management and execution of the evaluation and selection process by proposing in one document a systemic, coherent and consistent way to undertake the evaluation and selection of project proposals submitted for funding to the ENPI CBC programmes. In particular it could be used by programmes as:

• A guidance for developing their own guidelines, procedures and tools;
• A complementary material for training and/or briefing the relevant actors before starting the process;
• A reference tool during their work, acting as a complement to the programmes’ own documents and rules.
