Manual on the Management of the European Union’s Structural Funds, 2nd ed, 2006

This manual is concerned with how NGOs may best influence the management of the
Structural Funds so that they may be effectively directed toward the reduction and
elimination of poverty and social exclusion in Europe. It is not a policy document on the Funds, nor simply a guide as to how NGOs may be smarter at obtaining the Funds. Instead, it looks at the way in which the Structural Funds are designed, planned, publicized, delivered, monitored and evaluated - in other words how they are managed and how NGOs may play their part in that process.
