Monitoring for project holder organisations
A programme is made of many holders, each reporting on its own. MOCBC brings progress reports and payments together so the programme level becomes visible without losing the individual case.
The brief
A cross-border cooperation programme is made of organisations in different countries that share neither a system nor a vocabulary. Monitoring here means making reports comparable without forcing an individual holder into a shape that does not describe its work.
The solution
A common reporting structure in which each holder submits for itself, and a programme view that aggregates without cutting the link to the individual report. Progress and payment sit beside each other rather than in two separate filings.
The outcome
The programme level and the single project are one step apart: every aggregated figure can be traced back to the report it came from.
Monitoring in a cooperation programme is less a reporting problem than a translation problem. The holders work in different countries, under different administrative habits, and describe similar activities in different terms. Anyone forming a programme-level figure out of that is making a decision about what counts as the same thing.
MOCBC makes that decision visible rather than hiding it inside an evaluation. The reporting structure is shared, submission stays with the individual holder, and every aggregated figure keeps the path back to the reports it was built from.
Progress and payment deliberately sit beside each other. Filed separately, each answers only half a question — and the question a programme authority actually asks always joins the two.
