Enhanced strategic approach to programming
Shortcomings in the current programming period
• Lack of clear identification of needs of the specific programming area
• Weak links between strategy and operations selected (poor intervention logic)
• Insufficient targeting No specific quantified targets No selection of best projects
• Inadequate quantification of programme's outcomes (indicators)
• Amount and type of information
4
Enhanced strategic approach to programming
• Continuity and evolution with respect to the present programming period:
Clearer and better structured policy priorities
Reinforced result-orientation and target setting and increased emphasis on performance
Enhanced flexibility in the use of measures
Enhanced strategic approach to programming
How to address the shortcomings?=> enhanced strategic approach to programming
• SFC2014 to support this evolution:
Built-in structured approach (templates) in the application
Structured indicators tables, including the indicator plan (target setting)
Flexibility in the selection of measures to address the needs identified in light of the SWOT analysis
Enhanced strategic approach to programming
Impact on SFC2014
Enhanced strategic approach to programming
Impact on SFC2014
+ extract to:
• SFC2014 = SFC2007 + the following objectives:+ 2014-2020 Programming Period (new Regulations)+ Improved Workflow (e.g., parallel modifications)+ Structured Programme Definition (no more docs)
+ Hybrid approach for large documents such as ex-ante evaluation (attached to the RDP or )
Beginning the programming exercise
The SWOT analysis
• Scope: providing a holistic picture of the whole programming area
Description of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats
Identification of needs to be addressed by the RDP intervention (including justification for sub-programmes)
Should cover elements related to all 6 priorities and all focus areas
For each sub-programme: specific SWOT and needs assessment.
Beginning the programming exercise
The SWOT analysis and SFC2014
Overall description [Text: X characters] Overall description (quantitative and qualitative) of the situation of the programming area concerned, based on programme-specific and common context indicators (to be developed).
Threats:[Text: X characters]
• SWOT analysis covering the whole programming area
Strengths:[Text: X characters]
Weaknesses :[Text: X characters]
Opportunities :[Text: X characters]
Beginning the programming exercise
The SWOT analysis and SFC2014
• Identification of needs on the basis of the SWOT
• • […]
Follow logically from the SWOT analysis and should be prioritised
Needs to be analysed in relation to - and attributed to - the priorities and focus areas, and the three cross-cutting themes
Should clearly indicate whether specific needs do not emerge in relation to one or more focus areas

Beginning the programming exercise
The SWOT analysis and SFC2014
Specific needs concerning the environment, climate change mitigation and adaptation and innovation: [Text: X characters]
• Cross-cutting themes
• Specific SWOT and needs assessment to be established separately for each of the thematic sub-programmes
Structure to be developed
The ex ante evaluation
• Description of the process, e.g. timing of main events, intermediate reports, etc.
• Overview of recommendations
• Full ex-ante evaluation as attachment, e.g.: or

Description of the process[Text: X characters]
Beginning the programming exercise
Intervention logic
• Combination of measures/operations to achieve the objectives set
• Basis for establishing indicators to measure progress
Efficiency and effectiveness of actions/measures in relation to their objectives
• MS responsible to set out the appropriate mix of measures to achieve
their policy goals during programming
Measures can be used flexibly and in various ways to support different focus areas and priorities
Additional focus areas may be introduced under certain conditions (needed to achieve policy objectives under a priority + sound justification)

Intervention logic and SFC2014
• Combination of measures/operations to achieve the objectives set

Building the strategy and using the tools
Overall description [Text: X characters]
Combination of measures:[…]Priority 5 (overall description) : Promoting resource efficiency and supporting the shift towards a low carbon and climate resilient economy in agriculture, food and forestry sectors
Focus area 5B (rationale for the combination of measures): Increasing efficiency in energy use in agriculture and food processing
Measure Art 18-1 Support for Investments in agricultural holdings
Measure Art 18-2 Support for investments in processing/ marketing of agricultural production
Measure Art 18-3 Support for Investment in agricultural and forestry infrastructure

Intervention logic and SFC2014
• SFC2014 to generate automatically: Intervention logic Diagram
Overview of the strategy table of the rural development programme
Overview of the most relevant measures/sub-measures to programme for each focus area
15
Building the strategy and using the tools
Description of the measures selected in SFC2014
• Measure fiche automatically generated for each measure selected in the intervention logic
• No double encoding between Financial information in the measure fiche and financial plan Planned output in the measure fiche and indicators plan
• SFC2014 structure under construction Text boxes for
General conditions applying to more than one measure Specific description by measure and transitory arrangements Contribution to focus areas and cross-cutting objectives Verifiability and controllability
Tables for Types of operations table (scope, type and level of support) Financial information Planned output

Additional financing and state aid
Information on complementarity
Programme implementing arrangements
Partnership and NRN activity
Additional information for the type of operations implemented via financial instruments

Building the strategy and using the tools
Indicator plan
• Reinforced result-orientation and target setting:
Quantified targets for the period 2014-2020
New decision on RDP needed if change of more than 50% in any target indicator linked to a focus area
Planned outputs and planned expenditure by measure and focus area
"Secondary effects" should be described and reported on in a qualitative table, i.e. potential contributions of measures/sub-measures programmed under a given focus area to other focus areas / targets
20
Ensuring efficient and effective policy delivery
Example for focus area 2B
21
From the indicator tables by focus area, an overall consolidated table with planned outputs and planned expenditure by measure will be generated automatically in SFC2014
Ensuring efficient and effective policy delivery
Indicator plan and SFC2014
• New compared to SFC2007: Structured indicator plan
• SFC2014 to automatically calculate the RDPs' contribution to Partnership Agreement
e.g.: indicative allocation of EU contribution by thematic objective for all funds
• SFC2014 to implement rules and tables for the management of indicators
New Decision if modification by 50% of targets Priority 1 'Fostering knowledge transfer and innovation' – horizontal
priority Environmental measures/sub-measures programmed to address more
than one environmental issue (same hectare counted against more than one target simultaneously)
22
Ensuring efficient and effective policy delivery
Other RDP information to be provided in SFC2014
• Limited number of general and EAFRD-specific ex-ante conditionalities
• Performance framework: Milestones established for each priority for 2019 and targets established
for 2022
• Evaluation plan: Overall framework evaluation plan by the MA, detailed enough to
demonstrate that: sufficient and appropriate activities are planned adequate resources are allocated to these activities
