Public-sector cooperation runs on trust and accountability. GDPR obligations, EU-funded programme rules, audit trails, version control and role-based access are not optional extras — they are the ground rules.

Practical guidance for TA Facility teams
This archive collects 3 articles published between 22 May 2026 and 18 August 2026.
These Governance & Compliance cover the operational decisions that Technical Assistance Facilities face day to day — structuring requests, mobilising expertise competitively, tracking working and mission days, monitoring results against the logframe, and producing audit-ready donor reports. Each article is grounded in how TA Facilities actually operate rather than adapted from generic project-management advice.
ZeePMT is built around the same operational patterns: a single connected system that takes a facility from request intake through expert assignment, action planning, delivery tracking and donor reporting — hosted in Europe, GDPR-aligned by default, and purpose-built for the organisations that run EU-funded technical assistance.
