Abstract

In my research proposal, I recommend to analyze the effect of cross-border projects on institutional capacity building. The target is the creation of a new instrument “the cross border indicator” that can measure the level of institutional capacity building in organizations that participate in cross-border projects. The topic of the research is the impact of PHARE CBC/INTERREG IIIA Programme and the effect of these projects for the institutional development. The role of cross-border cooperation and capacity building is analysed through a study realized in Satu Mare (Romania) and Szabolcs-Szatmar-Bereg (Hungary) and finally with the elaboration of a cross-border index with their components. 

The study is structured as follows: in the first part, I provide information about the institutional capacity building. In the second part of the study, the results of the research based on questionnaires and interviews in the two border counties are presented.
