The RFO – Management – Coordination Unit
For the overall project coordination and management, the involved Main Partners have decided to establish
the RFO-Coordination Unit in order to ensure a proper implementation of "Change on Borders".
The RFO-Coordination Unit was carrying out the project management on behalf of the Lead Partner, the Ministry
of Economic Affairs and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. The RFO-Coordination Unit
was established within the common INTERREG IIIA-Secretariat at the Euregio Rhein-Waal. In order to guarantee
a close coordination with the Lead Partner, this independent Unit was based at the Ministry of Economic
Affairs and Energy of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The Coordination Unit took care of the day-to-day management, kept contact with the project partners, supported
the sub-projects and worked in close cooperation and coordination with the Financial Manager and the Helpdesk.
Furthermore, the Coordination Unit was responsible for the overall RFO-reporting to the INTERREG IIIC West Joint
Technical Secretariat in Lille, the organisation and follow-up of the RFO-Steering Committees and the external
presentation of the RFO.
