Complementarity and coordination. The Trust Fund’s activities have to be very closely coordinated with other existing aid programmes and pooling mechanisms to avoid duplication and competition for funding in (xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xx/en/press/press-releases/2015/10/08-western-balkans-route-conference- declaration/) 6 xxxx://xxxx.xxxxxxxxx.xxxxxx.xx/doc/document/ST-26-2015-INIT/en/pdf 8 xxxx://xxxxxx.xx/rapid/press-release_MEMO-15-5860_en.htm 9 Council conclusions on EU approach to resilience, 3241st Foreign Affairs Council meeting, Brussels, 28 May 2013. 10 Council conclusions on EU approach to resilience, see footnote 9. Annex I to the Agreement establishing the European Union Regional Trust Fund in response to the Syrian crisis, the 'Madad Fund', and its internal rules particular as regards the Syria Recovery Trust Fund (SRTF)11 based in Gaziantep, the World Bank Trust Fund for Lebanon, and World Bank and UN mechanisms in Jordan. To this end, and in application of Article 5.1.3 of the Constitutive Agreement, representatives of these and other relevant pooling mechanisms may be invited as observers to Fund meetings on a reciprocal basis so that the additionality and complementarity of Trust Fund projects can be confirmed. As regards the SRTF, which currently focuses on recovery and reconstruction activities in areas controlled by the Syrian opposition as represented by the National Coalition of Revolutionary and Opposition Forces (SOC), the Trust Fund should only intervene inside Syria in agreement with the SRTF as set out in Article 9.1.4 of this Agreement, and if the complementarity of EUTF financing justifies such an intervention, e.g. in the case of potential activities carried out by EU Member States development agencies or other contributors in opposition-held areas. To this end, the Trust Fund will closely coordinate with the relevant EU Delegations across the region.
Complementarity and coordination. While the four ITS units have different scopes of expertise (complementarity), numerous key themes of interest to California reside in more than one unit. The work done at more than one unit will be done in collaboration (coordination), as in many cases, one unit by itself does not have all necessary expertise to work on a given problem.
