Supporting members and their national counterparts to develop partnership approaches, diversify funding options, and access funding from the European Union.
The Funding and Partnerships group brings together our work on the EU’s Global Europe Instrument, Humanitarian Action with a focus on ECHO and EU-CORD In-Country member collaborations (In-Country Forums). This year we increase our focus on humanitarian action, bringing members up-to-speed with the latest developments at ECHO and we develop a new regional workshop and set of briefing notes to support the In-Country forums as they form collaborations and look to increase access from EU development grants.
