EU Competency Framework for ERDF/CF Management & Implementation
This EU Competency Framework, developed by DG Regional and Urban Policy, provides a comprehensive approach to assessing competencies for managing and implementing ERDF and CF. It includes self-assessment tools, identifies competency gaps, offers blueprints for training programs, and covers all key institutions involved in the process. The framework outlines steps for starting self-assessment, assesses operational and management competencies, and allows staff to evaluate their proficiency levels. Results are generated using an Excel-based semi-automated tool, providing a summary for individual development needs.

EU Competency Framework for the management and implementation of ERDF and CF EGESIF 21 September 2016 DG Regional and Urban Policy - Unit E1 "Competence Centre for Administrative Capacity-Building and the Solidarity Fund" 1
Main deliverables Competency Framework Covers all institutions involved in ERDF/CF management and implementation Reflects different practices in terms of structures Self-assessment Tool Identifies competency gaps both at individual and institutional levels Takes stock of structures and good practices in competency management in 8 MS (DE, ES, HR, IT, LT, PL, RO, SE) Provides inventory of existing training courses Stock taking Proposes blueprints for training programmes linked to the identified competencies Blueprints 2
Competency Framework Developed for ERDF/CF: Coordinating Bodies Managing Authorities Joint Audit Authorities Certifying Authorities Secretariats 3
Competency Framework Steps when starting the self-assessment Selection of 'group of job roles' Operational level Decision making level Supervisory level Selection of institution Managing Authority Coordination body Joint Secretariat Audit Authority Certifying authority Tasks generated on the basis of previous selection Programming Project generation Monitoring etc. Sub-tasks Detailed sub- tasks based on selection of tasks in the previous step Name of the member of staff + title of the programme 4
Competency Framework a set of competencies to assess values Operational Competences Management Competences 12 competences 13 Core Professional Competences 12 competences 156 competences specific to ERDF/CF Self-assessment by staff of their proficiency level for each competence generated by the tool Proficiency levels range from 'no knowledge' to 'expert' The number of competences to assess will vary between individuals depends on previous selections 5
Self-assessment tool results Excel based semi-automated tool Summary of assessment results for individuals Compares user's proficiency against required levels Development plan template Indicates lacking competencies or those that require upgrading Aggregation tool Provides overview at institution level 6
Recommendations for MS Implement the Competency Framework and the Self- Assessment Tool in relevant institutions as instruments feeding into relevant capacity building measures Improve knowledge sharing within administrations and complete the tools and learning options with a map of staff's competencies Consider competency based approaches in ESIF management and implementation 7
Recommendations for the EC Draft a road map to promote the use of the Competency Framework and the Self- assessment tool Improve user- friendliness of the self- assessment tool (e.g. develop a web-based IT tool) Establish a helpdesk to provide assistance to users, gather feedback and upgrade the tool 8
Road map By end 2016 Web-based self-assessment tool Pilot implementation in a few MS administrations interest to be signalled to REGIO.E1 by 3 October 2016 1st half 2017 Wide dissemination of the Competency Framework and its self-assessment tool 2017 9
