WP1 ""Management"" is designed to put in place appropriate and efficient coordination and management, organise two review meetings and run the liaison office for extended NCP network.
Main Results
39 NCPs have signed the Memorandum of Understanding with RICH to become part of the “extended network”: the MoU sets the rules of involvement in terms of services provided and contribution expected. more than 55 Extended NCPs have participated to the different activities.
Almost all NCPs have responded to the “questionnaire on needs assessment” and by continously collecting the answers for the members of the network, beneficiaries and the extended network, a good picture of the skills and the needs of ther RI-NCPs is available. This is a powerful instrument for the planning of the different activities.
