Common Impact

Through the delivery of common objectives and activities, and the sharing of practice, each transnational partner and their beneficiaries gained added value from the transnational work programme.

Operational benefits were gained by all partners through staff and beneficiary exchanges of experience and practice, project visits and seminars between transnational partners, project visit ‘reporters’, the sharing of reports and tools, and the exchange of concepts and approaches which can be adapted across DPs.

Strategic benefits were gained by the creation of a stronger evidence base to achieve mainstreaming and to influence policy and practice, the sharing of research and monitoring data; better links with actors in other member states to promote joint working, dissemination and future collaborations; incorporating a European dimension to the work of each DP; the closer integration of actions to tackle labour market exclusion with the priorities set between the member states and the European Employment Strategy.
