A variety of guidance materials have been produced in the past about rural development and transnational cooperation (TNC). Many of these have been prepared by National Rural Networks and provide a mix of useful methodological or technical advice on TNC approaches. These materials have now been distilled and re-packaged in the following ‘Integrated European Cooperation Guide’, which aims to provide an effective cooperation tool tailored to the needs of the current 2007-2013 programming period.
The Integrated European Cooperation Guide covers a range of relevant TNC information focusing on two core aims:
to clarify what cooperation is and the benefits it can bring; and
to present a comprehensive step by step series of methodological guidance, that clearly explains concepts linked to planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of cooperation projects
