Polish NGOs improve their skills on Management of EC Projects and Standard Contracts

Operational management of EC Projects and Standard Contracts was the theme covered by the recent national training organized by TRIALOG in April 2010 in Poland.

During the training the participants engaged in practical and theoretical workshops addressing monitoring, evaluation and financial reporting of EC contracts. Andra Tanase, Capacity Building Officer at TRIALOG, introduced the audience to the process of implementing a standard contract from the EC. The participants had opportunity to analyse in details EC administrative and financial rules, work on the management plans of their projects, exchange experience and to ask concrete questions regarding the implementation phase of development cooperation projects. “Polish NGDOs which are relatively new in this sector are still dealing with lack of sufficient knowledge and experience in the implementation of projects financed by the European Commission. This workshop was a great opportunity to learn, clarify our doubts and exchange experience” said Monika from the ZAGRANICA GROUP.

The event was organized on April 12-13, 2010 in Warsaw in cooperation with the ZAGRANICA GROUP, the Polish NGDO Platform. In total, during the two-days training, around 20 participants from various polish NGOs working in the development field were trained.
