All the organizations involved in the project were presenting and we at DABS are proud to be leading partner of these experienced consortium and to launch this initiative towards the improvement of the future of Black Sea Basin.

We started with presentation of the partners’ organizations sharing the background and experience and the key areas where each partner will be most beneficial. A project management unit was set representing the project Steering and Evaluation Committee that will ensure the sound management and implementation of the initiative. Further, communication and exchange channels and mechanisms were outline within the project consortium. Administrative and financial management, reporting and processing of the project documentation were also a subject of discussion during the meeting.

The current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic all over the world was also a topic that was discussed. The project partners will need to adapt the planned activities under the project in accordance with the current developments and restrictions related to the pandemic.
