Joint press conference by Ministry of Development Cooperation and Humanitarian Action Romain Schneider and the Chairman of the Cercle of NGOs, Armand Drews
Review of financing instruments
The Ministry has undertaken a review of the two development NGO financing instruments – simple co-financing and framework agreements. This work was done in collaboration with NGOs’ representatives and the new arrangements were determined together.
The instrument of simple co-financing has been replaced by a system of calls for proposals. The aim of calls for proposals is to supervise and coordinate better the management of the official development assistance budget allocated to the NGOs while contributing to the improvement of the interventions in terms of development through selecting consistent, relevant projects in line with the selection and appraisal criteria specified together with the NGOs.
The instrument of the framework agreement has also been modified. Apart from the integration of the measures selected following the negotiations over the “Zukunftspak”, the aim was to give this instrument more management flexibility by adopting a consistent programme-based approach and results-based management.
