The co-operation programme applies for the 2025–2030 period, which in turn is divided into two, three-year work plans for 2025–2027 and 2028–2030, respectively. An evaluation will be performed in the middle of the period, on the basis of which the Council can choose to make adjustments to the co-operation programme. The evaluation can also be used to provide input in regard to how the work plan for the last period should be formulated. Continuous evaluations are also undertaken at the discretion of the Council and the General Secretary.
