Criteria description and definitions |
|
Forward looking/ Creative |
The initiative must introduce future-oriented and new ways of working or delivering services in the public sector. The initiative must reflect an innovative approach and solution that meets the changing needs, issues and challenges of citizens, especially in extraordinary circumstances such as the pandemic. |
|
Effective & Impactful & Tangible Results |
Applicants must show evidence of the transformations and improvements observed through the implementation of the initiative in addressing the identified issues and challenges and the objectives of the initiative. |
|
Participatory & Inclusiveness |
The initiative must be based on an open and inclusive approach that captures a diverse range of views of those affected, e.g. through the involvement of the beneficiaries and other stakeholders in the design, operation, management, monitoring and evaluation of the initiative. Inclusiveness can also be achieved through the ownership of the project by the said beneficiaries and other stakeholders. |
|
Visibility / Public Concern |
Citizens must benefit from the added value of the initiative, hence it must be visible and distinctive (at least in the country or region of the users). |
The topic of the initiative must be high on the agenda in public organisations and thus have the potential for visibility and media coverage. |
Transferability & Replicability |
The initiative must be capable of replication in a different setting or context in the Western Balkans and beyond. |
|
Sustainability |
The initiative must include elements that extend beyond the period of the project implementation or delivery (i.e. after the planned and realised objectives and activities). |
The changes generated by the initiative must be shown to be sustainable and not likely to be reversed by future governments. |
