About this learning event

This initiative involves learning about how two countries cope(d) with the digitalization of large and complex EU initiatives within one of the six Western Balkans economies and one EU country, such as RA and RRF respectively. On day 1 the visit would be hosted by the Recovery and Resilience Office in Ljubljana, Slovenia. While looking into their monitoring and reporting solutions, we will also discuss about Slovenian experience with rules on payments (satisfactory fulfilment of relevant milestones, commission assessment, reducing amounts, etc.) and dive into a case study on concrete challenges of one line ministry when reporting on reforms and investments. On day 2 we will continue on an alternative location where we would delve into a WB6 country experience. A hands-on experience setting of the event will be (co)facilitated by the CEF team to further encourage the exchange of experience and views.

The contents of the study visit will be tailored to the beneficiaries’ interests and needs. Sharing the experience and enhancing the understanding of how digitalization has transformed organizational structures and processes in terms of communication, cooperation, and coordination, will be at the heart of the event. Special attention will be given to: 

• assuring the presentations and discussions provide practical insight from various perspectives to understand how the digitalization enhances RA implementation steps and stakeholders (i.e. RA Coordinators, line ministries, other stakeholders, IT/procurement);
• exploring the practical implications and possibilities for “transferring the technology” or its parts to best support the needs of the beneficiaries.
