The partner countries of the JOP have established a Joint Monitoring Committee. The overall tasks of the JMC are to ensure the quality and effectiveness of implementation and accountability of the programme.
The main tasks of the JMC include:

• Approving the work programme of the JMA;

• Appointing the SC for the assessment of project proposals;

• Approving the application packages before the calls for proposals are launched by the JMA;

• Deciding on the selection criteria to be applied and approving any revision of those criteria in accordance with the needs of the programme;

• Deciding on the final selection of the projects and the budget of each project to be funded;

• Deciding on the amounts and on the allocation of funds and resources for TA, including human resources;

• Reviewing, at each meeting, the administrative decisions taken by the JMA;

• Examining, at least once a year, the operational and financial report submitted by the JMA;

• Reviewing periodically the progress made towards achieving the overall and specific objectives of the programme on the basis of documents submitted by the JMA;

• Proposing – if appropriate - to the JMA any revision of the programme likely to improve its effectiveness or its management;

• Examining any possible cases of irregularity and/or the need for recovery brought to its attention by the JMA.
