Governance
Governance in macro-regional strategies is not about new funds nor bureaucracy, but how and by whom the strategies are implemented and joint actions initiated and financed. Governance must have both a political and operational dimension, with line ministries and implementing bodies setting strategic objectives, and then making sure the work is strictly followed up. This will give clearer results and greater impact.
EUSAIR Governance and management architecture
In addition to the political level, consisting of Ministers for EU Funds and/ or Ministers of Foreign Affairs of ten participating countries taking strategic decisions at the EUSAIR Annual forums’ ministerial meetings, the EUSAIR architecture involves two main levels: the coordinating level represented by a Governing Board and the implementation level represented by Thematic Steering Groups. Operational support to both levels is provided by the EUSAIR Facility Point strategic project.
