Deadline: 17-Feb-22
The European Commission is calling for proposals for Financial contribution to the functioning of health non-governmental bodies implementing one or more specific objectives of Regulation.
The objective is to ensure the participation of health NGOs in activities that are necessary to implement one or more specific objectives of the EU4Health Programme. Hence, operating grants should provide support to the functioning of certain NGOs during 2022 for activities including awareness raising on various health aspects, communication and dissemination, capacity building and training, expert collaboration and networking.
Funding Information
- The total budget earmarked for grants calls under this FPA/SGA call is EUR 9 000 000.
- This budget might be increased by maximum 20%.
Expected Outcomes
- Non-governmental organisations (NGOs) play a major role among others in providing aid at Union, national and local levels. In the field of health, and specially public health, they provide services directly to patients and individuals being in some cases in the first line of action also during emergencies. NGOs are also essential in bridging the gap between institutions and patients and facilitating communication at national and Union level. These organisations are not-for-profit and therefore necessarily rely on funding from different sources, for instance private donations, national or international contributions.
- The Commission considers it important that there is continuity in the work carried out by the health NGOs in addressing current health challenges including the COVID-19 pandemic and its consequences, and it intends to award operating grants under this work programme to eligible NGOs.
Eligibility Criteria
In order to be eligible, the applicants must:
- be legal entities (public or private bodies)
- be established in one of the eligible countries, i.e.:
- EU Member States (including overseas countries and territories (OCTs)
- eligible non-EU countries:
- listed EEA countries and countries associated to the EU4Health Programme or countries which have submitted an official request for association and are in ongoing negotiations for an association agreement and where the agreement enters into force before grant signature.
