Coordination of each priority area will be allocated
to a Priority Area Coordinator. These are at the
heart of making the Strategy operational, and bear
a central responsibility for its success. They work
on its implementation, in close contact with the
Commission, with all stakeholders involved,
especially other countries, but also Regional and
Local Authorities, Inter-Governmental and NonGovernmental Bodies.
