a written undertaking by the partners with the and addresses of the Lead Local Action Group and of the direct partner LAGs/local groups and associate partners involved; a detailed description of the co-operation project indicating: how the need/demand for the project was identified; the project goals; the activities that will be taken to achieve them; the role of each partner in organising and implementing the project; the arrangements for organising, monitoring and evaluating the project; the expected results of the project; an overall planned budget and the financial participation of each partner; a timetabled project implementation and management plan; procedures for amending the Agreement. Application Process Pre-development and full co-operation project applications must be assessed and selected separately by each Local Action Group involved before being submitted to the Department for final approval. Phase 2 projects Pre-development projects must go through the normal evaluation and selection process within each LAG, before being submitted to the Department for final approval. The application form for pre-development projects must be accompanied by the technical support template provided in Annex 2. The application form must go through the normal evaluation and selection process in each partner LAG. The application will only undergo one Article 48 administrative check, which should take place prior to submission of the selected project to the Department. A letter of offer/contract must issue in respect of each LAG. Phase 3 projects Full co-operation projects must go through the normal evaluation and selection process (and Article 48 administrative checks) separately within each partner LAG before being submitted to the Department for final approval. Where the co-operation project is being delivered by the LAG or implementing partner (in-house projects), the LAG must ensure an appropriate segregation of duties between – staff involved in the project application and delivery elements; and, the staff involved in project evaluation and administration processes.
