National awareness, dissemination of knowledge and guidance on TSI: The Coordinating Authority should be responsible at national level for disseminating information and knowledge regarding the TSI instrument. This information should include the objectives of the instrument, the eligibility criteria, types of technical support provided, and SG REFORM processes. The Coordinating Authorities should act as the national focal point to explain the relevance of the technical support to national policy priorities, as appropriate within their national context. For this purpose, Coordinating Authorities could, to the extent possible consider developing tools i.e., national TSI info website; and processes for guidance on TSI i.e., create public functional mailboxes, promote TSI webinars and Country rollouts, ensure dssemination of SG REFORM’s information, priorities and novelties, etc. 2. Facilitating the relations with applicant authorities: To the extent possible, Coordinating Authorities should (1) identify strategic priorities of interest to receive technical support, (2) be able to identify relevant national, regional, and loCal authorities that Could benefit from TSI support inCludlng for multi-country projects and, (3) fadiitate relations and engage with other Member States as relevant. If relevant and possible, Coordinating Authority Could support potential BenefiCiary Authorities in their process of designing high quality requests (as per the criteria set in the TSI regulation). 3. Submission and prioritization of requests: The Coordinating Authorities should be responsible at natonaI level for coordinating and prioritisng the requests for support submitted by the Member State (both individual and multi-Country requests), as possible within their national context.

The Coordinating Authorities Could, within their Capacities, support the evaluation procedures of SG REFORM by: o participating in evaluation meetings organised together with SG REFORM as relevant, with the objeCtive to review the state of play of the implementation of the TSI programme in their Member State and discuss the results of previous projects. 27  o contribute to analysing the results of the evaluation questionnaires shared by SG REFORM, if needed. o providing feedback on the resufts of the projects (questionnaires) to SG REFORM.

In that context, the Coordinating Authorities (and Beneficiary Authorities) are expected to acknowledge the TSI support when communicating about TSI projects. 7. Involvement in Coordinating Authorities Network: The Coordinating Authority is the solely responsible focal point at national level for participation in the Coordinating Authorities’ Network. As such, the Coordinating Authority should participate in the network meetings, consultations, workshops, and additional activities i.e., Iiaising with other Coordinating Authorities (in the context of multi Country projects in particular) and attending the annual Coordinating Authorities workshops organized by SG REFORM. 28 RPuBuc OF EsT0NIA MiNisTw OF FINANCE Ciine Gauer European Commission, SG Reform Our ref’ 902 No .
