- If we narrow down objectives, it is good for performance for specific objectives
- However: Civil society might react critical and drop out, as they do not see themselves relevent for the exact objective
- Space for society to let policy makers and implementers know, where problems need to be solved has to be safe guarded while not doing a little bit of everything

In Mobility of youth workers, there was a shift from youth work development activities to more individual development activities due to a change in the focus in the programme guide.

KA3 was a bit easier to promote and engage applicants than 154, not only because of budget issues but also because this separate flow.

The format is relevant. It's clearly linked to  political objectives . The format is flexible which is positive but the application process and the funding rules are too complex.

# data[].attributes.body
KA2 - good potential to contribute to the strategy objectives. The budgetary set-up between 2019-2022 made it less attractive for large scale youth organisations. So they contributed less to the strategy and some cooperation projects are too far away from youth work. The impact of projects can be limited to the partners and not often enough shared/diseminated. Sustainability is not there ie. updating of websites/databases.
Changes with the lump sums improved the action as it becomes more attractive for youth organisations to set-up cooperation projects. Discussions are now starting up with larger organisation as they can make a real contribution to the strategy.

- Differing approaches on how much this changed the work of the agencies yet: Staff is still learning, situation of the youth sector in the country, approaches of NAs who shall be accredited is differing
- Miistakes have been happening (allocated money vs. activities to be carried out): How much money for accredited organisations? WHich percentage of money to reserve for accredited an non-accredited organisations?
