In this chapter we present the methodology and the questionnaires used in the survey. We explain the aims and structure (investigation area) of the questionnaire, the main content of each investigation area and the selected sample of convergence regions involved. The first questionnaire is divided into four key investigation areas; the aims of this first survey are: to define the need for capacity building in relation to the new EU regulatory framework; identify what type of support may be more effective (exchange of personnel, community of practices and learning, online platform, peer-to-peer assistance); identify which Managing Authority is available to share its experience and good practices and what is available to receive them. The questionnaire will be sent to all Managing Authorities and Certifying Authorities of the Member States. The second questionnaire is divided into four key investigation areas that try to analysis the main results of the microcredit/microfinance programming activity, the target group and other operational features and, finally, the Monitoring and reporting activities. Finally, the chapter tries to show the prospects of the programming activities in the microcredit sector with EU structural funds in the context of the on-going planning processes with regard to implementing Financial Instruments in 2014-2020 (Horizon).
