2.1 Procedure

Title : Capacity Building for IPA Programming and Implementation
Description : The contract aims to provide capacity building and organizational support to national structures involved in the programming, management and implementation of EU-funded assistance in the field of environment and climate change. The services will aim to enhance institutional readiness for efficient planning, coordination, monitoring and reporting of investments aligned with EU environmental standards. This will include support in improving internal workflows, strengthening coordination mechanisms, and developing or optimizing IT-based tools that facilitate evidence-based decision-making. The assistance will be structured around three key components: (1) provision of support for effective management of EU programmes and projects in the environment and climate change sectors, including improvements in internal procedures, coordination, and communication mechanisms; (2) organization and delivery of capacity building activities such as on-the-job trainings, workshops, and study visits to enhance staff competences and performance; and (3) awareness-raising and communication activities related to the objectives and societal relevance of planned investments in key areas such as waste management, wastewater treatment, and circular economy. These efforts will help promote stakeholder engagement, build social consensus, and support public consultations at local, regional and national levels, in complementarity with broader EU visibility frameworks.
