Description of planned activities

Inter-enterprise Cooperation Agreements (I & ICAs).

aiming at promoting public — private initiatives related
to the improvement of the investment environment and
climate (e.g. investment-related policy and legal reforms,
investment regulatory framework, legal system vis-à-vis
investment protection or guarantee, implementation of
best practices in investment promotion, promotion of
investment packages, public-private-partnership approaches
(i.e. in the water treatment and management), investment-related
Economic Partnership Agreements strategies and approaches,
. . .).
— Development of investment policy proposals
(activity code No 113): Activities related to the development
of initial action plans/strategy papers into fully substantiated
policy proposals ready for submission to regional/national
authorities and the reinforcement of intermediary organisations
in the field of policy dialogue.
— Implementation of policy proposals and lobby activities
(activity code No 114): Provision of technical assistance
to ACP intermediaries in the course of lobbying regional/national
authorities to introduce specific improvements in the
regional/ national investments environment and climate,
as well as implementation of specific policy proposals.
Proposed activities should have a regional scope and
be result oriented.
