The conditions that impact on the sustainability of projects appear to be satisfactory, but they may be affected by the weaknesses of local authorities (paragraphs 48-57). 
Frutsttningarna tycks finnas fr att resultaten skall bli varaktiga, men de kan pverkas av bristerna i de lokala frvaltningarna (punkterna 48Đ57).
Following its audit, the Court requests the Commission to: Ń improve the organisation of its central services in order to exploit this form of cooperation more fully; Ń provide the delegations with precise and consistent guidelines that are appropriate for microprojects, exercise greater control over the management system and provide it with a better legal framework, so that programme implementation can be monitored more easily; Ń ensure that implementation of the programmes allows the project cycle to be monitored and time limits respected in accordance with the priority expectations of the communities concerned; Ń adopt realistic methods of measuring results, examine in greater depth ways of securing the medium-term sustainability of microprojects in ACP countries, particularly with respect to the role of local authorities, and encourage appraisals that deal with more than one country. INTRODUCTION The multiannual microproject programmes 1. 
Som ett resultat av denna granskning uppmanar revisionsrtten kommissionen att: Ń frbttra organisationen av sina centrala avdelningar s att denna form av samarbete utnyttjas p ett bttre stt, Ń ge delegationerna tydliga och samstmda riktlinjer som r anpassade till mikroprojekten, bttre kontrollera frvaltningssystemet och ge det en rttslig ram s att genomfrandet av programmen kan vervakas p ett bttre stt, Ń se till att genomfrandet av programmen gr det mjligt att vervaka hela projektperioden och iaktta tidsfristerna i enlighet med befolkningens prioriterade behov, och Ń anvnda realistiska metoder fr att mta resultaten och noggrannare underska hur mikroprojekten kan bli varaktiga p medellng sikt i AVS-lnderna, srskilt nr det gller den lokala frvaltningens roll, och prioritera utvrderingar som gller flera lnder. INLEDNING Flerrsprogram fr mikroprojekt 1.

EUF:s program fr mikroprojekt har funnits nda sedan den frsta Lomkonventionen (1975Đ1980) och finansierar mnga olika sm lokala infrastrukturer (skolor, vrdcentraler, sm vat-(1) Dessa iakttagelser grundar sig p de utfrliga rapporter som verlmnats till de berrda delegationerna och centrala avdelningarna efter att vart och ett av de sex granskningsuppdragen hade utfrts mellan november 2002 och mars 2003. tenreservoarer, m.m.).
Under the terms of the fourth Lom Convention (2) the aim of these projects is to Ôrespond to the needs of the local communities with regards to developmentŐ. 
Enligt fjrde Lomkonventionen (2) r mikroprojektens ml att Ósvara mot lokala samhllens utvecklings-kravÓ.
At the end of the year 2002, for the sixth, seventh and eighth EDFs combined, the financing for these programmes represented a total of 618 million euro, approximately 2 % of total financing decisions (Annex I). 
Nr det gller sjtte, sjunde och ttonde EUF tillsammans motsvarade finansieringen av dessa program i slutet av 2002 618 miljoner euro, det vill sga cirka 2 % av alla finansieringsbeslut (bilaga I).
(2) The fourth Lom Convention was signed on 15 December 1989 for a period of ten years (March 1990 to March 2000) and accompanied by a five year financial protocol corresponding to the seventh EDF; it was revised on 4 November 1995 and accompanied by a second five year financial protocol corresponding to the eighth FED. 
(2) Fjrde Lomkonventionen undertecknades den 15 december 1989 fr en tid av tio r (mars 1990 till mars 2000) och lyder under ett finansprotokoll p fem r som motsvarar sjunde EUF. Konventionen reviderades den 4 november 1995 och lyder nu under ett andra finansprotokoll som motsvarar ttonde EUF.

Because they fit in well with some of the aims of Community co-operation, namely support for civil society and the fight against poverty (1), these programmes were retained by the Cotonou agreement (2) and linked to decentralised co-operation (3). 3. 
Eftersom programmen vl uppfyller mlen fr gemenskapens samarbete som innebr std till det civila samhllet och fat-tigdomsbekmpningen(1) har de behllits genom Cotonouavtalet (2) och knutits till det decentraliserade samarbetet (3). 3.
Under the terms of the Lom Convention (4), microprojects must have Ôan economic and social impact on the life of the peopleŐ, meet a Ôdemonstrated and observed priority needŐ and be Ôundertaken at the initiative and with the active participation of the local community that will benefit therefromŐ. 
Enligt Lomkonventionen (4) skall mikroprojekten ha Óen ekonomisk och social inverkan p folkets livÓ, tillgodose ett Óbevi-sat och observerat, prioriterat behovÓ och Ótas upp p initiativ av och med aktiv medverkan av den lokala gemenskap som skall dra frdel av mikroprojektetÓ.
Under no circumstances may EDF aid exceed 300 000 euro or, in principle, 75 % of the cost of the project. 
EUF-stdet fr inte p ngra villkor verstiga 300 000 euro och i princip inte heller 75 % av varje projekts kostnad.
The remainder is financed by the local community concerned, in kind or in the form of services or cash, and, exceptionally, by the ACP State. 4. 
Resten finansieras av den lokala stdmottagaren i natura, i form av kontanter eller tjnster och i undantagsfall av AVS-landet. 4.
In an ACP State, they are implemented by a management unit, which takes decisions, under the direction of a steering committee in which the Community authority and the national authority are represented. 
I AVS-landet r det frvaltningsenheten som spelar en avgrande roll under ledning av en styrkommitt dr gemenskapens frvaltning och den nationella frvaltningen r representerade.
This management unit has three main functions: to publicise the programmes, to select eligible projects from those submitted by the potential beneficiaries and to ensure that they are carried out (see Table 1 and Annex II). 
Frvaltningsenheten har tre huvuduppgifter: sprida kunskap om programmen, vlja ut de stdberttigande projekt som de potentiella stdmottagarna presenterar, och se till att de genomfrs (se tabell 1 och bilaga II).

The audit focused on the CommissionŐs central departments and six (1) ACP countries which, at the end of the year 2002, were beneficiaries of 44 % of the financing decisions for microproject programmes under the sixth, seventh and eighth EDFs (see Annex I). 
Granskningen gllde kommissionens centrala avdelningar och sex (1) AVS-lnder som i slutet av 2002 hade ftt 44 % av finansieringarna ur sjtte, sjunde och ttonde EUF till program fr mikroprojekt (bilaga I).
On-the-spot check of an irrigation project 6. 
Granskning p plats av ett konstbevattningsprojekt 6.
In each country the Court examined one programme under the seventh EDF, one programme under the eighth EDF (2) and at least twenty microprojects. 
I varje land granskade revisionsrtten ett program ur sjunde EUF och ett ur ttonde EUF (2) och minst tjugo mikroprojekt.
The 144 completed projects, which were all examined on the basis of individual files and, in 104 cases, by on-the-spot checks, were mostly finished before 2001. 
Merparten av de 144 projekt som granskades, samtliga enskilt och 104 p plats, avslutades fre 2001.
They represent the principal sectors concerned: education, health and rural development (3). 
De representerar de viktigaste berrda sektorerna: utbildning, hlsa och landsbygdsutveckling (3).
Twenty accounting transactions for the financial year 2002, relating to microprojects in the selected countries, were also audited. 
Dessutom granskades 20 bokfrda transaktioner frn budgetret 2002 som gllde mikroprojekt i de utvalda lnderna.
The projects to be audited on the spot were selected at random, but the Court took the delegationsŐ views on accessibility and security into account (Annexes III and IV). 
Projekten som granskades p plats valdes ut slumpmssigt, men revisionsrtten beaktade delegationernas uppfattning i frga om tillgnglighet och skerhet (bilaga III och IV).
The audits were carried out on the premises of the CommissionŐs central services, delegations, microproject management units, national and local authorities in the ACP countries and final beneficiaries. 
Granskningarna utfrdes vid kommissionens centrala avdelningar, delegationer, mikroprojektens frvaltningsenheter, AVS-lndernas nationella och lokala frvaltningar och hos de slutliga stdmottagarna.
It covered the programming, implementation and results of these programmes and took account of the risks already identified by the CommissionŐs audits and assessments including, in particular, the risk of non-continuation of projects. 
Granskningen inriktades p planeringen, genomfrandet och resultaten av programmen. Vid granskningen beaktades de risker som konstaterats vid de kontroller och utvrderingar som kommissionen redan gjort, srskilt risken fr att projekten inte blir varaktiga.

THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE MULTIANNUAL MICROPROJECT PROGRAMMES A programming procedure that is iterative, flexible and appropriate 8. 
UTARBETANDE AV FLERRSPROGRAM F R MIKROPROJEKT En terkommande, smidig och avpassad programplanering 8.
The development of microproject programmes follows an iterative procedure, which involves all the actors shown in Table 1 and Annex II. 
Utarbetandet av f lerrsprogram fr mikroprojekt sker enligt en terkommande process dr alla aktrer som beskrivs i tabell 1 och bilaga II deltar.
For the Community to undertake to finance over several years (4) a programme that has been submitted by an ACP state, the state in question must be able to identify its own needs and priorities and evaluate its capacity for managing the operations involved. 
Fr att gemenskapen skall ta sig att fr en period av flera r finansiera ett program som ett AVS-land freslr (4) mste AVS-landet i frga kunna utvrdera sina behov och prioriteringar och sin frmga att frvalta motsvarande tgrder.
The so-called Ôglobal authorisationŐ procedure allows different national programmes to be financed on the basis of a single authorisation by the EDF committee for a maximum of 30 million euro. 
Frfarandet fr det s kallade vergripande godknnandet gr det mjligt att finansiera olika nationella program p grundval av ett enda godknnande frn EUF-kommittn med maximalt 30 miljoner euro.
The relatively low total value of microproject programmes submitted by the ACP countries means that this procedure, which is reserved for programmes involving less than eight million euro, is frequently used instead of the standard procedure, thus avoiding overloading the EDF committee. 
Det relativt lga beloppet fr program som presenteras av AVS-lnderna innebr att detta frfarande, som endast r avsett fr program som avser mindre n 8 miljoner euro, ofta anvnds i stllet fr standardfrfarandet nr det gller mikroprojekt, vilket gr att EUF-kommittn inte blir verbelastad.
Acquired experience not taken into account equally 10. 
Tidigare erfarenheter beaktas p olika stt 10.
The microproject programmes form the subject of appraisals whose recommendations are taken into appropriate account during the development of subsequent programmes. 
Programmen fr mikroprojekt utvrderas och rekommendationerna i utvrderingarna beaktas vid beredningen av kommande program.
However, these appraisals are usually made either half-way through programmes or shortly after their closure. For example, although in many countries multiannual microproject programmes have been in operation for more than 20 years and project continuity is frequently discussed, there are almost no appraisals that have been carried out after a long period and could provide useful information on this particular aspect (5). 
Utvrderingarna grs dock vanligtvis antingen vid halvtid eller strax efter att programmen har avslutats. ven om flerrsprogram fr mikroprojekt i mnga lnder genomfrs sedan mer n 20 r och projektens varaktighet ofta diskuteras har det knappt gjorts ngra utvrderingar efter en lngre tid som skulle kunna bertta om vrdefulla erfarenheter om denna speciella aspekt (5).
Appraisals that deal with more than one country are too rare and too old (6) to be of use to the Commission. 
De utvrderingar som gller flera lnder r alltfr sllsynta och alltfr gamla (6) fr att kommissionen skall ha ngon nytta av dem.
(4) Under Article 290 of the Lom Convention, certain financing decisions may relate to multiannual programmes. 
(4) Enligt artikel 290 i Lomkonventionen kan vissa finansieringsbeslut glla flerrsprogram.
(5) For example, on projects that are five to ten years old.

11.3.2004 SV Europeiska unionens officiella tidning C 63/7 Likartade program beaktas inte i tillrcklig utstrckning 11.
The EDFs multiannual microproject programmes are not the only form of aid for small projects that meet priority needs. 
EUF:s flerrsprogram fr mikroprojekt r inte den enda stdformen fr sm projekt som tillgodoser prioriterade behov: medlemsstaterna, vriga bilaterala och multilaterala bidragsgivare, icke-statliga organisationer och ocks de nationella frvaltningarna sjlva frvaltar likartade program.
This is a particular aspect of the compartmentalisation of information between sponsors, particularly between Member States and European Community programmes (1). 3. 
Det r en fljd av att det r vattentta skott mellan bidragsgivarna, srskilt mellan medlemsstaterna och Europeiska gemenskapens program (1). 3.
Zimbabwe: a decentralised European cooperation programme launched in 1999 is responsible for activities including a fund to finance small-scale urban and rural infrastructure projects that are in every respect comparable with microprojects. 
I Zimbabwe frvaltar ett europeiskt decentraliserat samarbetsprogram, som pbrjades 1999, bland annat en fond som skall finansiera sm infrastrukturer i stder och p landsbygden som i alla avseenden kan jmfras med mikroprojekten.

Malawi: a programme of small infrastructure construction projects in poor rural areas is being financed by the World Bank. 
I Malawi finansierar Vrldsbanken ett program fr uppbyggnad av sm infrastrukturer i fattiga landsbygdsomrden.
Local communities can present projects for funding under both schemes. 
Den lokala gemenskapen kan presentera projekt med finansiering frn bda systemen.
For example, two schools were financed by the different systems very close to one another. 
Till exempel har tv nrliggande skolor finansierats av olika system.
This failing has been partially overcome by the inclusion of specific provisions in the fourth multiannual microproject programme, which is financed from the ninth EDF. 2. 
Detta har delvis avhjlpts genom att man har infrt srskilda bestmmelser i det fjrde flerrsprogrammet fr mikroprojekt, som finansieras av nionde EUF. 2.
Zambia: a joint management unit was set up in 1991 to oversee management of the multiannual programmes of EDF microprojects and the programmes financed by the World Bank. 
I Zambia inrttades en gemensam frvaltningsenhet 1991 som skulle frvalta EUF:s flerrsprogram fr mikroprojekt och program som finansieras av Vrldsbanken.
From June 2000 to January 2002 the difficult relations between the two types of programme (due to uncertainty concerning organisational support for each type of programme) caused significant problems for the EDF microproject programmes. 
Frn juni 2000 till januari 2002 ledde de svra frhllandena mellan de tv programtyperna (p grund av att det rdde oskerhet om deras respektive organisatoriska std) till att EUF:s program fr mikroprojekt fick stora problem.
In many regions, starting in January 2003, the date of the administrative separation of the two types of programme, officials from the districts concerned were transferred to World Bank programme activities, at the expense of the EDF programmes. 
Frn och med januari 2003, d programmen fick skilda administrationer, frflyttades tjnstemnnen i de berrda distrikten i mnga omrden till verksamheter som var knutna till Vrldsbankens program p bekostnad av EUF-programmen.
Although the two types of programme are complementary, the lack of coordination and cooperation that characterised their management precluded any form of positive synergy. 
Trots att de tv programtyperna kompletterar varandra har bristen p samordning och samarbete pverkat frvaltningen och frhindrat all positiv samverkan.

Programming choices appropriate to national needs 12. 
Programplaneringsval anpassade till nationella behov 12.
The microprojects are either included in the aid concentration sectors fixed by the national indicative programmes (NIP), or treated as a separate sector (2). 
Mikroprojekten ingr antingen i de viktigaste stdsekto-rerna, som faststllts genom nationella vgledande program (PIN) eller s behandlas de som en srskild sektor (2).
The most frequently selected sectors are either social (education and health, including water and sanitation) or an economic sector covering agricultural and craft activities, improved communications and various income-producing activities. 
De som oftast vljs ut r dels de sociala sektorerna fr utbildning och hlsa, inklusive vatten och avlopp, dels en ekonomisk sektor som omfattar jordbruks-och hantverksverksamheter, frbttring av kommunikationer och olika inkomstskapande verksamheter.
An income-generating activity: a maize-flour mill 13. 
En inkomstskapande verksamhet: en kvarn fr majsmjl 13.
As well as the intervention sectors, programming choices are concerned with the geographical area covered (all or part of the territory), the priority criteria (greater or less concentration on the poorest areas or peoples), the type of operations financed (construction or renovation of infrastructure such as schools, clinics or water supply systems, training measures), and the type of financing (loans or subsidies). 
P samma stt som sektorerna fr intervention handlar programplaneringsvalen om geografisk tckning (hela eller delar av territoriet), prioriteringskriterier (strre eller mindre inriktning p de fattigaste omrdena eller mnniskorna), typ av tgrder som finansieras (uppbyggnad eller upprustning av infrastrukturen, till exempel skolor, vrdcentraler, vattenledningssystem eller utbildningstgrder) och typ av finansiering (ln eller bidrag).
(2) This diversity reflects the Lom Convention, which treats microprojects either as an instrument (Article 252), or as a sector of intervention (Article 229). 
(2) Denna olikhet speglas i Lomkonventionen dr mikroprojekten behandlas antingen som ett instrument (artikel 252) eller som en sektor fr intervention (artikel 229).

Various meanings may be attached to the term Ôlocal communitiesŐ, which is not defined by the Lom Convention. 
Termen Ólokal gemenskapÓ, som inte definieras i Lomkonventionen, kan ha olika betydelser.
It can refer equally to a group that is subject to a traditional authority (the village and its chief), a group of people having material or other interests in common (an association) or the population of an area that has its own administration and legal representatives (a local community within the meaning of public law). 
Den kan avse en grupp som lyder under en traditionell auktoritet (byn och dess chef), en grupp mnniskor som har gemensamma materiella eller andliga behov (en frening) eller en befolkning som bor i ett omrde med egen administration och rttsliga fretrdare (en lokal gemenskap enligt definitionen inom offentlig rtt).
The diversity of the interpretations adopted allows each country to adapt implementation of the microproject programmes to its own structures and politics. 
De mnga olika tolkningarna gr att varje land kan anpassa genomfrandet av programmen fr mikroprojekt till sina strukturer och sin politiska inriktning.
