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 carried out in the middle of the period. On the basis of this, the Council of Ministers may choose to make adjustments to the programme. It will also give them an opportunity to receive feedback on how the work plan for the final period should be formulated. In addition, there will also be an on-going evaluation at the discretion of the Secretary General and the Council of Ministers.
Work undertaken to implement the co-operation programme’s policies will be discussed as a standing item at the meetings of the Committee of Senior Officials for Health and Social Affairs every six months. This will include reports on the status of commenced activities and the discussion of opportunities for new initiatives. Decisions will also be taken if there are areas within the programme that require attention.
A careful analysis will also be made as to whether the initiatives are attaining the desired effects or if any adjustments are required. This will be done in conjunction with each annual report for long-term initiatives and projects within the framework for the co-operation programme.
