ENI CBC MED thematic clusters

Ongoing

Context and objectives

Following the signature of the MoU between the UfMS and the ENI CBC MED Managing Authority in April 2019, and the Joint Action Plan agreed, the labelling of this project contributes to the promotion of a wider impact of the Programme on selected strategic priorities by fostering deeper involvement of national / regional stakeholders and capitalization actions, in close coordination with the UfM, its regional dialogue platforms and projects.

In the framework of the EU-funded cross-border cooperation Programme “ENI CBC Med”, this project aims to reinforce the impact of the funded projects across the Mediterranean region, through the creation of 4 thematic clusters of projects based on the 4 thematic objectives of the Programme – namely business and SMEs development; technological transfer and innovation; social inclusion and fight against poverty; environment and climate change.

The main objectives of the project are to support knowledge exchange and management among ENI CBC Med funded projects based on synergies with UfM main policy orientations and ongoing initiatives, as well as to promote key projects outputs and good practices with decision-makers at local, national and regional level in order to support evidence-based policy making.

Transnational events will be organized to promote dialogue between institutional actors in the EU/MED area, as well as to attract in the thematic community new stakeholders. Also result oriented monitoring missions on funded projects will be undertaken, to improve their performances and strengthen their outcomes, as well as mid-term evaluation on selected projects, mid-term conference on achieved results and perspectives and dedicated events for selected results follow-up involving key decision makers.

Finally, the project will be evaluated through a report on achieved results based on the performance framework set by the ENI CBC MED Programme and through the analysis of ENI CBC Med projects that could be potentially labelled and supported by the UfM.
