 The Karelia ENPI CBC Programme will continue the programme-based cooperation between the regions of Kainuu, North Karelia and Oulu Region in Finland and the Republic of Karelia on the Russian side. Earlier programme-based cooperation was implemented within the framework of the Interreg II and III A Karelia programmes and the Euregio Karelia Neighbourhood Programme. The objective of the programme is to increase well-being in the programme area through cross-border cooperation. With this objective, the Karelia ENPI CBC Programme complements other regional development programmes and strategies. The ENPI Programme introduces a strong cross-border aspect to regional development. The programme is based on mutual interests and jointly defined regional needs. Earlier experiences about the cooperation have been used in programme preparation to help strategy formulation. In order to reach the overall objective, the programme has been divided into two priorities in which the regional strengths and problems have been recognized. The priorities are: Economic Development and Quality of Life The regional and state / federal level coordination system established for the programme also gives a possibility to obtain opinions from relevant regional and state level stakeholders and administrative bodies. The thematic approach makes it possible to ensure cooperation and coordination with other relevant programmes and strategies. It also helps avoid overlapping in project implementation. The management of the programme is based on full equality and partnership between the participating countries. This is reflected in the composition and designation of the programme bodies and the selection of consensual decision-making as a general rule. ABOUT PROJECT
