Empowering Implementation: a strategic approach to administrative capacity building and supporting beneficiaries

Good governance is essential for the efficient implementation of funds, as well as for better delivery of public investment and services. This session will bring together insights from two important initiatives aimed at enhancing the effective implementation of cohesion policy funds: a pilot action on strengthening the capacity of beneficiaries and a study of roadmaps for administrative capacity-building implemented in 15 Members States in 2021-2027. It will explore lessons learned, practical tools and strategic approaches to empower programme authorities, as well as beneficiaries, thereby laying the groundwork for more efficient, impactful and future-ready fund management.
