EC Application Training in Romania

In the end of May, Cypriot, Estonian, Hungarian, Latvian, Maltese, Polish, Romanian and Slovak NGOs received an invitation letter from the EC to present their full applications as lead agencies within the thematic programme "Non state actors and Local Authorities" and thus have been invited to participate in the second stage of the Call for Proposals 2007 (following their successful concept notes in the first stage).

In this context, the Romanian platform FOND hosted the TRIALOG training on "how to write a full project proposal" in June, with participants from Cyprus and Romania.

After studying the guidelines of the Call, the group worked during 2 days in 40°C hot Bukarest – without aircondition facilities - and elaborated the different project proposals, logframes and the budgets, which have then been submitted to the EC before the deadline of July 15.

The EC announced that the evaluation of the full applications will be completed by mid October 2008 and results will become available then. Once again, TRIALOG keeps fingers cross for all projects presented with participation of new member states NGOs.

We would be grateful if you share the result of your application with us, please email to TRIALOG Capacity Building officer Petra Kreinecker: p.kreinecker@trialog.or.at.
