Abstract:

In this study, it is searched the impact of project consultancy services on utility of fund amount allocated under IPARD. After the CoM Decision taken by the EC in August 2011, the ARDSI was carried out 6 calls for application and issued the list of contracted projects for the first three calls for application by May 2012. 4 out of 41 applications for the first call, 58 out of 207 application for the second, 99 out of 150 application for the third call for application were contracted. The rate of counsultancy within project application number and number of contracted projects at the three call for applications were determined as 85,3 % and 75 %; 67,6 % and 70,6 %; 70,7 % and 70,7% respectively. Although the contracting rate has gradually increased, it is seen that this rate is not satisfied because of some problems. In addition, two different questionnaires were assessed to determine the role of project counsultancy services and also statistical analyses were performed between some parameters. As a result, counsultancy service was performed by counsultant firms ( 59 %). Also, it is seen that the most of contracted projects were prepared by the consultancy firms (92,7 %).
