LESSONS LEARNED
 Great cooperation between Romanian and Norwegian Unions
had great results due to the Fund for Decent Work and
Tripartite Dialogue
 The opportunity given by the Fund to make possible the
cooperation between Unions for the creation and
implementation of an H&S framework for the education sector
and to train Union members in Romania
 It is of utmost importance for Romania that the Norwegian
Fund be in charge financially, because it gives the opportunity
to create and implement programs that are independent from
the Government, thus allowing the Unions to be free of
political interference.

LESSONS LEARNED
 The positive part of the Norwegian Financial mechanism is the
soft approach, reduced bureaucracy and not to complicated
application procedures in implementation
 In Romania the Norwegian Funds started to apply the national
legislation in implementation of the projects (like the
acquisition law) which led to a slowdown in the
implementation process
 The accession and implementation process is constructive in
a way with great results.
 Innovation Norway and Norwegian partners’ support.

RECOMMANDATIONS
Our recommendations for future program areas, based on our experience
from the current one is to continue the model with Norwegian
partners, sharing experience, study visits and joint cooperation
Keep away Norwegian Funds from national bureaucracy in accession and
implementation of the projects financed in each European country
Keep the implementation of the project after the Norwegian
rules and keep the bureaucracy at the minimum level in accession and
implementation of the Funds
Continue to finance projects that had good results and can be
multiplied at a national level or projects that can continue a
development process for the Unions in our case.
