• Conducting Need Assessment Questionnaires: The total number of questionnaires will be around 400 and will be applied in the MEDA countries. Each MEDA participating country will carry out the questionnaire face to face.



• Evaluation of Questionnaires The two questionnaires will be evaluated separately by the technical coordinators of each participating country to determine (I) the need assessment for awareness raising of the managers and decision makers, and (2) the need assessment of training topics for the operators and monitors of the treatment plants.



• Technical Visit-Germany A technical visit will be arranged to Nortorf - Germany to visit wastewater treatment plants and make use of the European experience in the field of wastewater treatment, disposal and monitoring in order to minimize the pollution of water bodies resulted from wastewater discharges, and to investigate the related EU standards and the principles for enforcements of the regulations.



• Evaluation of collected data & monitoring results Evaluation will be extended to include the other main coastal treatment plants operated in each participating country. Each partner will prepare a Data Evaluation Report. The reports will be assembled in one interim report by the project applicant.



• Organizing Workshops The results of the questionnaires will be discussed and evaluated in one independent workshop in each participating country. The coastal operators and managers of the main wastewater treatment plants in each country will be invited to attend the workshop in that country.



• Evaluation of workshops Each country will prepare a report about the results of the questionnaires.



• Evaluation meeting -Greece The results of the workshops will be summarized and evaluated in a meeting in Greece. The meeting will be attended by representative persons of all the partners and by the technical coordinators of the partners (22 persons).



• Development of first draft manual The technical experts, in close cooperation with the partners, will prepare the first draft manual based on the evaluation results of the collected data sets, monitoring results, workshops, etc.
