How is aid delivered?





EDF is delivered through national and regional indicative
programmes (CSPs) and intra-ACP funding (facilities
and programmes)
Thematic programmes are delivered through multiannual strategies translated into annual work
programmes
In both cases actors and projects for implementation are
identified through calls for proposals or calls for tender.
Direct aid to governments is provided through budget
support, SWAPs and/or projects with ministries
EC is not an implementing body and resorts a lot to
technical assistance and consultancy
Place of CSOs/NGOs in EC aid





In 2003, 50% of EC aid from the annual budget is
channelled indirectly through NSA (NGOs, other CSOs,
International organisations, trade unions, employers
associations,…)
Partners number 1 for indirect aid are the international
organisations (48%), followed by NGOs (39 %) and by
other NSA actors (13%)
IO (UN + others) are a main partner for all aid
instruments while NGOs are main partners for TBL and
Humanitarian Aid mainly
Examples exist of EC aid to CSOs managed by UN
agencies: Sudan 50 million package for CS managed by
UNDP – World Food programme
In general limited direct access to EC aid for CSOs from
Developing countries

Actions by Civil Society organisations in developing countries
NSA and LA in development
3 objectives:
 promote an inclusive and empowered society in
partner countries to facilitate NSA and LA
participation in poverty reduction and
sustainable development strategies
 promote awareness raising and development
education in the EU and acceding countries for
development issues
 facilitate coordination and communication of
NSA and local authority networks in the EU and
acceding countries
Projects in Developing countries
1. In country interventions : geographic priority for
 situations not conducive to ensuring NSA and LA
involvement in the development process, (difficult
partnerships, unstable situations, conflict, poor
governance).
 specific needs of parts of the population are not
addressed in the partner country development strategy
and groups are out of reach of mainstream services and
resources, excluded from the policy-making process
2. Global, multi-country/regional initiatives
Awareness raising, DE
Priority will be given to the following themes:
 Public support for the MDG agenda, with a
particular focus on sub-Saharan Africa
 Coherence for development, with a particular
focus on areas of public interest where common
goals with development are important such as
migration, trade, security, human rights, social
dimension of globalisation and decent work,
environment, and HIV/AIDS;
 Media and development
Coordination and communication of NSA and LA
networks in the EU and acceding countries

Information networks and exchange of best
practices within and among their organisations
 Dialogue and exchange of best practice
between different types of stakeholders,
including between non state actors and local
authorities
 Interaction of such organisations or networks
with the EU institutions
