ADVISORY GROUPSThe Advisory Groups provide a valuable service to the Objective 3 Programme and are a key part of the appraisal process. Each of the 5 Priorities has an Advisory Group made up of volunteers from applicant organisations. Each year we undertake a review of membership to ensure we have a balance of sectors, geographical locations, gender etc. Advisory Groups involved in Mainstream Programme measures are allocated a batch of applications each July which they score in pairs. The group meets for several days during August/September to moderate scores. |
