EVALUATION OF CIP <strong>EQUAL</strong> TRANSNATIONAL CO-OPERATION PRINCIPLE<br />

Within the framework of a CIP <strong>EQUAL</strong> CZ separate priority, technical assistance was provided to the<br />

managing authority and the development partnerships.<br />

Support to the development partnerships for the whole period of their work programme<br />

implementation belongs to the basic activities of the technical assistance. Another task of the technical<br />

assistance is monitoring of the individual DPs, namely including administration of the monitoring<br />

systems. Further the technical assistance ensured effective communication with the managing<br />

authority by means of timely providing of the information on the implementation of the individual<br />

projects and of the whole programme to the managing authority.<br />

During DP formation, creation of a project and of a budget and during preparation of a grant<br />

application the future applicants had a possibility to take part in regional seminars and a possibility to<br />

consult with the National Training Fund (NTF). They had also at their disposal the Instructions for<br />

Applicants, the Manual, list of frequently asked questions with answers and other information on the<br />

Internet sites.<br />

Later the National Support Structure (NSS) was charged with the technical assistance tasks to the<br />

managing authority including the support to the development partnerships. The company<br />

PricewaterhouseCoopers carried out the function of the National Support Structure for CIP <strong>EQUAL</strong> CZ.<br />

The technical assistance is further used to support monitoring, audits and evaluation of the activities<br />

carried out both in the Czech Republic as well as at the Europe-wide level and for preparation of<br />

studies, seminars, information events, collection, processing and dissemination of the obtained<br />

experience and results.<br />

National Development Plan of the Czech Republic for the years 2004–2006.<br />
