B.8 Programme implementation structure

The Monitoring Committee is composed of representatives of all countries that participate in the Programme. The MC is responsible for ensuring the effectiveness and quality of the Programme as well as for selecting the projects. The work of the MC is supported by national committees or sub-committees. They provide links and information to regional and local authorities, economic and social partners and non-governmental organisations during the implementation of the Programme. Member States may also establish national contact points to promote the Programme and support applicants and project partners at national level.
