What does your new ESF+ Programme 2021-2027 look like? Are you confident that you will reach your target groups and spend the entire budget in the best way possible? Will you be able to achieve and demonstrate clear programme successes and measurable results? What are the challenges you will face to ensure that all spending is eligible and the audit trail is protected?
This 3-day EIPA course examines these questions and assesses the state of new programmes. We will ask whether you have a strong and adaptable project pipeline? We will ask what lessons have been learnt from current and previous ESF programmes? We will consider some recent cases of good practice from around the EU in the areas of programme and financial management.
EIPA experts will build on a series of successful EIPA seminar-workshops recently delivered under contract to the Flanders Region, the Brussels Capital Region, and the Wallonie region – assisting them with the preparation of a new generation of ESF+ programmes.
What you will learn?
Key elements include:
What priorities and financial allocations for your programmes stem from Country Specific Recommendations and Country Reports?
The relevance of the European Pillar of Social Rights and the EU Social Scoreboard
How best to coordinate of Structural Funds programmes and projects with RRF activities in the social area
Use of programme-specific indicators for ESF+ and how to use the new Performance Frameworks
financial planning and flexibility in new programmes
simplifying financial control and audit – expanding the use of simplified cost options and protecting the audit trail
How we work
The course will be led by highly experienced EIPA experts/consultants, Marco Lopriore and Robin Smail, who have been working with the ESF for more than 30 years. There will be keynote interventions from the European Commission, DG EMPL, and from a former head of a Managing Authority in Slovakia, looking at innovations in new programmes and lessons learnt from previous programmes.
We aim to make the course as interactive as possible. Participants will have ample opportunity to exchange views informally on the course topics. Workshops will be used to help participants get to grips with practical tools and methodologies.
