Draft Operational Programme for the ERDF in Saxony-Anhalt

Key lessons learned

programming is a complex process

it needs leadership

programming evolved from being a planning process behind closed doors to an overall strategy building process for the whole region

co-operation and co-ordination are essential

braking with all traditions is necessary to adapt to the new challenges

key importance for placing the right people at the right time

making structural funds implementation a team exercise of a whole region

focussing on the key challenges

develop a permanent monitoring system

key decisions have to be taken now which will have an impact for the next 10 years!

Many Thanks for your attention!
