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 />
