European Integration Office
For a Sector Support Action an overview of the following aspects:description of any existing Country Sector Policy/Strategy and how
this translates into an IPA Action any specific IPA SPD & the way how it was prepared; institutional arrangements ,including lead ministry; sector and donor coordination (i.e. very brief description of the
mechanisms for ensuring coordination between the government institutions and between the government and donors/other stakeholders);
Sector budget and medium term perspective (very concise)
Other aspects, i.e. performance management framework; Public finance management system, may be added but should remain very concise. further details can be added as an annex.
Discussion/group work based upon Key questions in line with EC criteria that are considered essential for

identify and clearly state the problems that need to be
resolved.

• Precise defining of framework and object of analyses
• Identification and formulation of the problems
• Selection of primary or focal problem(s)
• Problem tree development

1. Starting from the top reformulate all elements of Problem tree into a positive, desirable conditions
2. Instead of cause-effect relations in Problem tree, established relations are means-solution or means-objective
3. Starting from the bottom check whether established means-objective relations are logic and valid

• Final step in ANALYSIS PHASE• Selection of strategy which will be used
for achieving desired objectives• Process of decision making on which
solutions (objectives) will be included in project and which will stay outside of project, as well as what is purpose/specific objectives and what is overall objective
Strategy Analysis
Project funded byThe European Union
Government of the Republic of Serbia
European Integration Office
• The objective tree usually depicts several possible strategies that can comprise a solution to each sub-problem and to the focal problem.
• Since there is usually a limit to the resources that can be applied to the project, it is necessary to examine these alternatives and select the best one.
• To do this, decision-makers will first need to select criteria upon which they can base the analysis.
Strategy Analysis
Project funded byThe European Union
Government of the Republic of Serbia

• Which combinations will most probably lead to desired results and sustainable benefits?
• Which is the best way to support the ownership over the project,
• including institutions/organizations capacity development?
• Which option is the most efficient one?

Service contract is used for engagement of experts for delivery of defined tasks
Costs cover expert fees Budget is relatively simple – fees include other
costs (transport, per-diems)
Logic of the Budget Preparation – Services
Project funded byThe European Union
Government of the Republic of Serbia
European Integration Office
Budget is calculated in relation to type and number of experts
Fees - usual cost: € 800-1000 for senior experts and € 250-400 for junior experts (it depends on expertise and period of engagement, short-term or long-term)
Incidental expenditures (between 2 & 5, sometimes 10% of budget)• Bank charges• Per diems for experts when working outside normal
place of work• Visibility events, translation etc.
Verification (e.g. around 2% of budget)• External auditor’s fees
