Approach and implementation
A literature review and an interview study with around 40 participants from many authorities, civil society and the public sector were carried out. In close collaboration with stakeholders, two workshops were held. Based on this data, around 50 proposals were developed for future public calls for proposals and new capacity-building efforts. The project analyzed the conditions for scalability, quality and cost-effectiveness, presented a priority list and compiled international examples.
