Complementary Information
The PREPARE partnership embraces 20 organisations and one associate structure. Each member organisation is represented on the Organising Group. Each member organisation has its own board, typically between 5 and 15 persons. All boards are dealing with European rural and regional development policy, which means that there are approximately 100 persons involved indirectly in the scope of the Transparency Register. In total, the 20 member organisations have over 10,000 member organisations or affiliated local groups and over 100,000 individual members.
The actual costs for staff are low due to the fact that PREPARE is a project organisation depending on successes in different calls and applications. The voluntary effort is considerable. PREPARE is though now part of two Horizons with about 150000€ salaries for a period of 4 years. For 2023, an approximate working effort is 4-5 months depending on project implementation.Person in charge of EU relations
