La FIIAPP ha renovado la acreditación que permite gestionar fondos europeos para implementar proyectos de cooperación delegada
The FIIAPP has renewed its accreditation for managing European funds to implement delegated cooperation projects
The foundation has just successfully passed a thorough re-evaluation (it already did so in 2011) of its procedures and management systems in accordance with the criteria established by the EU in its Pillar Assessment. This European Commission accreditation will allow it to continue managing delegated cooperation projects and to strengthen the European cooperation system.
Indirect management of the European Union budget entails delegating and entrusting the management and execution of programmes and projects to accredited entities. It is a part of Team Europe and the joint work between the European Commission and the Member States in the foreign action and development cooperation of the Union built on shared competences.
During the last five years, the FIIAPP has substantially increased the implementation of this type of project, making it possible to harness the know-how of public administrations, directing their knowledge towards sustainable and inclusive development.
Delegated Cooperation Projects
