Programme portfolio
Although a variety of organisations have been included in projects funded by the Barents Secretariat, the majority represent public organisations at the municipal or regional level. Many different types of institutions are involved in the collaboration projects, as is shown in Table 2.5. However, the most typical organisations involved are municipal or regional public institutions. This is particularly the case for Russia, where 65% of the respondents represented such an organisation. Other differences between the countries include involvement of business and private institutions being more common in Norway than in Russia. NGOs involved from the Norwegian side as a rule are national/international, while from the Russian side they tend to be locally based. Taking into account the regional focus in the collaboration, this is hardly surprising. More than half of the rather large ‘other’-category is represented by educational institutions, research institutes and universities.
