Section 1: Programme Summary

This Cross Border Co-operation Programme between Republic of Macedonia and Albania covers the period 2014-2020 and relates to the New Financial Perspective of the European Community. Its implementation is based on the draft Commission Regulation, laying down foundations for the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA II).


IPA II aims at close alignment of its strategic support with policies and interventions offered across the EU Member States than previous instruments for pre-accession assistance. CBC-wise, the IPA II assistance flows from its specific objectives aimed to support:1


  • Economic, social and territorial development with a view to a smart, sustainable and inclusive growth;

  • Regional integration and territorial co-operation involving beneficiary countries.

These reflect goals and objectives established for European Territorial Co-operation as provided under Article 3.3 of the draft Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance (IPA II). These are closely interrelated with Thematic Objectives derived from the Europe 2020 Strategy, which were considered during CBC programming process for the two countries, making up main Thematic Priorities for the Programme’s intervention.


This 2nd draft of the Programme Document includes main recommendations made by the EC services during the first round of Programme negotiations at the turn of 2013 and 2014.

1.1 Summary of the Programme

Republic of Macedonia-Albania border area features one of the most impoverished areas and one of the least favourable socio-economic development opportunities and conditions in the entire European continent due to rural, mountainous and remote character of the CBC Area. In addition, the present development situation of the Programme Area derives from a set of historically, demographically, politically, geographically and economically driven factors, which cannot be overcome in a short period of time.


The proposed intervention and Activities stem from ‘problem tree’ combined with strategic balance sheet analysis and limited resource of the Programme aims to address the most important problem nodes and strategic opportunity identified through socio-economic and SWOT analysis, namely: i) low levels of economic activity along with mismatch of supply and demand in the labour market, ii) underdeveloped and obsolete environment infrastructure and iii) potential in tourism development and cultural exchange.
Realistically the Programme Area cannot expect to grow fast though it looks forward to a future more balanced, inclusive and sustainable socio-economic development through testing new instruments and solution, learning from other regions and mobilisation and exploitation of endogenous potential for demonstration effect, allowing for higher standards of living, self-confidence and social security.
The Programme concentrates on three CSF Thematic Priorities deriving from needs-opportunity analysis. These are, namely:


  1. Encouraging tourism and cultural and natural heritage (TP4: opportunity-driven);

  2. Enhancing competitiveness, business, trade and investment (TP7: needs and opportunity-driven);

  3. Protecting the environment, promoting climate change adaptation and mitigation, risk prevention and management (TP2: needs driven);

Naturally, the CBC Programme includes also Technical Assistance Priority.
