- Departmental workshops: providing targeted workshops to departments on cross-border effects, based on a specific dossier;
- Helpdesk: ITEM supports the ministry with expertise and analysis for questions about border effects and the use of the Border Effects Guidelines.
- Evaluation: ITEM will evaluate the quality requirement Border Effects by the end of 2025. An evaluation will be published based on interviews, screenings and workshops.
