How we prepare the project.
First we check the activity, the size of linked enterprises, the location, the costs and the start date. Then we align the budget, own funds and the evidence this instrument requires.
During preparation we agree the responsible people, documents and deadlines. After approval we track procurement, costs, reporting and indicators. See how we manage implementation.
