Eligibility Criteria
Lead applicant(s)
- be a legal person; and
- belong to one of the following categories of organizations: non-governmental organization, public sector operator, local authority, and
- be established in an eligible State as defined by the basic act (Instrument for Development Cooperation); and
- be directly responsible for the preparation and management of the action with the co-applicant (s) and the affiliated entity (s), and not act as an intermediary; and
- have an operational base and be legally registered in Senegal.
Co-applicant(s)
- The co – applicants participate in the development and implementation of the action, and the costs they bear are eligible in the same way as those borne by the lead applicant.
- Co-applicants must meet the same eligibility criteria as those that apply to the lead applicant himself.
- The co-applicants must sign the mandate form.
Affiliated entity(ies)
- The lead applicant and his co-applicant (s) may act with one or more affiliated entities.
- Only the following entities can be considered as affiliated with the lead applicant and / or co-applicant (s):
- Only entities that have a structural link with the applicants (the lead applicant or a co-applicant), in particular a legal or capital link.
- This structural link mainly encompasses two concepts:
- control, under Directive 2013/34 / EU on annual financial statements, consolidated financial statements and related reports of certain types of companies.
- Entities affiliated with an applicant can therefore be:
- entities directly or indirectly controlled by the applicant (first-rank subsidiaries or subsidiaries) or controlled by an entity itself controlled by the applicant (sub-subsidiaries or second-level subsidiaries), and this is valid for the other levels of control;
- entities directly or indirectly controlling the applicant (parent companies). In the same way, it could be about entities controlling an entity contradicting the applicant;
- entities, directly or indirectly, at the same level as the applicant (sister companies).
- Entities affiliated with an applicant can therefore be:
- membership, i.e. the applicant is legally defined as, for example, a network, federation or association of which the proposed affiliate entity is a member, or the applicant is a member of the same entity (for example, a network, a federation or an association, …) that the affiliated entity proposes.
- control, under Directive 2013/34 / EU on annual financial statements, consolidated financial statements and related reports of certain types of companies.
