Programme: Local Development, Poverty Reduction and Enhanced Inclusion of Vulnerable Groups

The funds under the financial plan for budget line "Support to EFIPP DG for management and implementation of HRD OP" will be used to support the building capacity for programme management by applying the good governance principles in the performance of all tasks and functions assigned to MA. The introduction of good practices and approaches to the programming, implementation, monitoring, control and evaluation of the operational program will contribute towards improved administration and indirectly will exert a positive impact on the development of the policies included in the programme. Funding will be provided for trainings of the staff employed in units tasked with HRD OP management and control, and these trainings will also be complemented by acquiring new knowledge and skills from participation in study visits and traineeships for the purpose of experience enrichment and familiarization with good practices.  
Support will be given to analyses, studies and research on the possibility to apply innovative approaches in the management and implementation of the operational programme, as well as for special studies and evaluation of the effectiveness and efficiency of MA for the purpose of subsequent introduction of improved operation systems and good practices.
The funds under the financial plan will also be used for improving the capacity of the beneficiaries to draft project proposals and implement projects that would fully comply with the priorities, objectives and requirements of the operational programme. 
For enhancing the public awareness with regards to HRD OP and the results achieved under it, public awareness events and campaigns will be organised, printed promotional materials will be produced and will be actively worked with national broadcasters for formation of the public opinion.
