Key actors and beneficiaries

Programme area specifics

This programme area will contribute to improved quality of services, policies and regulations through capacity building, exchange and skills development. It will support initiatives of local, regional and national level public institutions, including initiatives to strengthen cooperation between these institutions. Mechanisms for interaction between academia, civil society and private sectors, public authorities, ombuds institutions, national human rights institutions, equality bodies and parliaments can also be supported to maintain evidence-based policymaking. The programme area will facilitate the exchange of experiences and learning between partners in the Donor and Beneficiary States. It will provide networks, exchange of knowledge, and dissemination of best practices.

Public entities are the main actors in bringing about the desired change at national, regional, and local levels. Donor State institutions and international organisations will be key partners. The end beneficiaries will be the general public through improved government systems, strengthened services, and improved civil servants’ skills.

• Partnerships between Donor State entities and/ or International Partner Organisations and Beneficiary State entities are mandatory in all projects.
