The general objectives

Priority Axis 3: Improvement of the Accessibility Objective is the promotion

• f coordinated preparation

for the development of accessibility networks and the support of multi- modality 3.1. Improve coordination in promoting, planning and

transportation networks. 3.2. Develop strategies to tackle the “digital divide” The support of joint initiatives to lessen the “digital divide” among states and regions especially where market failure is evident

• r expect

3.3. Improve framework conditions for multi modal platforms The support of multi –modal platforms and the promotion of alternative transport means (e.g. rail or sea compared to road) from the view of public interest

Inherent to Programme life-cycle (filling the gaps...)

›

1st CfP: „Open” (... But some themes or AoI were insufficiently addressed)

›

2nd CfP: „Open-targeted” (... limited to certain thematic fields/AoI, but some gaps remained)

›

3rd CfP: „Strategic” (targeted at certain topics of outstanding relevance)

›

4th CfP: “Open”

Effective Stakeholder mobilization Achieving a better SEE-coverage Broader policy- and ETC context

Strategic CfP – Why?

„Top-down” approach to properly address SEE needs and key-

stakeholders

› Elaboration of „Background Study” (current needs and policy trends) › Elaboration of ToR related to strategic topics / AoI › 1st strategic workshop (Dubrovnik, July 2010) › 2nd strategic workshop (Thessaloniki, September 2010) › 3rd strategic workshop (Belgrade, April 2011) › 2-step application procedure with „coached” 2nd step

Result: Each ToR was successfully addressed by at least one project,

in three cases two proposals were approved under the same ToR
