The targeted analysis will address the institutional factors explaining the efficiency of public institutions in designing and implementing successful territorial development strategies and policy in the framework of EU Cohesion Policy. The main objective of this targeted analysis is to develop a common methodology aiming at recognizing, assessing and enhance institutional efficiency. This methodology will also support the identification of technical assistance measures to be adopted at central and regional government levels in order to strengthen the administrative capacity for the implementation of Cohesion Policy. In this regard, the identification of successful experiences or methods seen as a benchmark for other regions in Europe, represent a relevant expected result of the analysis.
