ANNEXSupplementary provisions
ANNEX INDICATIVE STRUCTURE FOR THE PROGRAMMING DOCUMENT FOR THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT OF GREENLAND The full text, including the executive summary and chapters 1 to 5, should be limited to approximately 15 pages, plus annexes. Part A: Cooperation strategy Executive summary The PDSD should begin with a half-page executive summary. This should include the major challenges facing Greenland in the medium and long term, the main objective of the PDSD and the principal reasons for the choice of focal area. Chapter 1: EC cooperation objectives In this section, the broad EC cooperation objectives are explicitly stated, as determined by the EC Treaty, the Decision and the related joint declaration on relations between the European Community on the one hand, and Greenland and the Kingdom of Denmark on the other. Chapter 2: Policy agenda of the Greenland Home Rule Government This chapter should provide a concise statement of the aims and objectives of the Home Rule Government of Greenland, as set out in official (sector) policy documents, in medium or long-term plans, reform strategies or development programmes. This should be completed by an indication as to how the Home Rule Government of Greenland proposes to achieve these objectives and an assessment of the related sector budget. It should also cover a concise institutional capacity assessment. Chapter 3: Assessment of the political, economic and social situation Major domestic policy developments/issues and relevant aspects of the external context should be covered in this chapter, including the political situation, trade aspects, the economic and social situation, environmental aspects and finally, the sustainability of current policies and medium-term challenges. Particular attention should be given to the assessment of Greenland’s macroeconomic policy and public expenditure management. Chapter 4: EC response strategy This section should set out the strategic choices for EC cooperation, specifying in which area(s)/sector(s) assistance will be concentrated. That choice should flow logically from: — EC policy objectives, — an analysis of Greenland's situation and its development strategy, determining the relevance and sustainability of the support strategy, — the indicative volume of funds available, — complementarity with assistance from other major partners and the Greenland Home Rule Government's own programmes. These programmes should be outlined concisely. Part B: Indicative programme Chapter 5: Indicative programme This chapter contains the indicative programme for Greenland, which is based on and fully consistent with the strategic analysis. The indicative programme is an integral part of the PDSD and should be composed of the following sections: — objectives and expected results: this section should briefly outline the overall objectives and purpose of the programme to be financed for the period 2007 to 2013, as well as the expected results, — financing envelopes: this section should include a breakdown of the indicative amounts set aside for the period 2007 to 2013 for the focal area (and if appropriate other areas), to be used to support the priorities outlined in the strategy. All amounts should be denominated in euro, — focal area: this section should contain information on the specific objectives and expected results for the focal area (and if appropriate other areas), as well as the major assistance planned. It should also include the policy/accompanying measures to be taken by the Government of Greenland as a contribution to the implementation of the response strategy. The amount earmarked for the focal area (and if appropriate other areas) should be indicated. The stakeholders should be identified, — financing modalities: an analysis should be made of the merits of a sectoral budget support approach and the modalities of the approach should be indicated, — risks and assumptions: the assumptions made should be presented, as well as risks likely to affect the implementation of the programme and mitigating measures considered, — indicators: input, output, outcome and, as far as possible, impact indicators should be identified for policy areas covered by the focal sector. Indicators should be specific, measurable in the short/medium term, achievable, realistic and time-bound, and include a starting level, a target and a clear time horizon, to allow for comparisons at the time of annual, mid-term and end-of-term reviews, — performance monitoring: the performance monitoring arrangements should be outlined in this section, based on readily available information, — cross-cutting issues: attention needs to be paid to the mainstreaming of cross-cutting issues (i.e. gender, environment, institutional development and capacity-building) in the areas of assistance, — summary data on Greenland should be annexed, as well as any other appropriate information.
