Value for money in Interreg – let’s pool practices and ideas

Selection and assessment

08 February 23 3 min read

According to Article 22(4) point (c) of Interreg Regulation, Interreg programmes shall select those operations that maximise the contribution of EU funding to the achievement of the objectives of the programme. Namely, programmes shall select those projects that best represent value for money. The same wording can be found in the Article 73 point (c) of the CPR, and to this point refers as well the publication on Economic appraisal vademecum 2021-2027, released by the EC in 2021.

Therefore, we are inviting you to share your practices and kick off an exchange to explore how value for money is handled in Interreg programmes: the different approaches, analyses, and tools applied to assess, monitor and evaluate value for money.

This value-for-money pilot is targeted at all the interested programmes with the aim to establish a working group to explore and define suitable approaches, pitfalls, and challenges when tackling value for money. The pilot will only take place if there is interest expressed by a sufficient number of programmes’ representatives.

The only prerequisite to participate in this pilot is your willingness to contribute with your experience and ideas to exploit the different options to determine, assess, monitor and evaluate value for money.  

Paired with the feedback received, we will organise a meeting to gather your wishes and expectations as well as introduce our ideas and together agree on future steps for this pilot activity.

Does this all speak to you? Then just drop a line to Besiana and Daniela!

We are eagerly looking forward to working with you!
