Twinning Capacity Building for Extension & Advisory Services for IPARD in Turkey
Turquie - Pays du voisinage européen Début : 2011 - Fin : 2012 Objectif : Since September 2011, Turkey has run its EU-type Rural Development Programme (Instrument for Pre-Accession Assistance for Rural Development, so called IPARD), supporting Turkish rural beneficiaries from EU support to the tune of 874 M € (2 billion TL), in the period till 2016.
To succeed in IPARD's implementation, one of the main challenges for Turkey is to train Advisory & Extension workers who are able to provide clear information about IPARD measures.
Thanks to this Twinning project, the European Union continued to provide assistance to Turkey, helping to support preparations for the implementation of the Programme. It is started in November 2011 and run to June 2012.
At the beginning of the twinning project, a diagnosis was established to determine the existing problems and bottlenecks and to focus, during the twinning, on the ways for improvement through the training activities.
The main aspects underlined were the following:
lack of participation, coordination and exchange of information between all stakeholders,
certain reluctance to promote the inter-services cooperation between MoFAL and ARDSI at national and local levels,
cautious attitude of potential beneficiaries.
