CAP Network Ireland hosted a webinar on the EIP-Agri calls 2 and 3 on July 10th. The webinar was for phase 2 of the application process and was attended by the shortlisted applicants for Animal Welfare and Gender Balance.
Presentations were given by team members from CAP Network Ireland, the Department of Agriculture, Food, and Marine, and guest speaker Tony Ward, from the Breeding Wader EIP Project.
Phase 2 of the EIP-Agri application process is a crucial step where applicants must demonstrate their proposed project can deliver an innovative and beneficial insight into the chosen field. They must also show it has a clear set of goals and objectives, can operate in a financially responsible way, and will deliver something tangible and beneficial to the stakeholders and the Department in the future.
A big part of this webinar was guidance on developing a project plan. Evolving a project from a strong concept to a strong project is perhaps the most difficult aspect of any tender. It is also the most crucial step for any project as this is where ideas are turned into a deliverable plan. A big takeaway from the presentation for all EIP tenders, now and in the future, was; Think local challenge, local action, local solution.
Tony Ward gave an excellent presentation on financial planning and governance. Tony’s key insights and in-depth knowledge on important information was absorbed by the attendees and many additional questions were asked following his talk. Tony is working on the new Breeding Wader EIP, a €25 million project that was the winning application from EIP-Agri call 1. Learn more about the project here: www.breedingwaders.ie
