How to approach the funding route

DG INTPA or FPI external-action grants and tenders, including calls issued by EU delegations.

Who may be able to access funding

Applicant and partner eligibility is set by each call; grants and procurement have different rules.

Strategic implications for project development

  • Choose the issuing service and instrument according to the intended development or stability outcome.
  • Read country programming and the call’s objectives before deciding whether a humanitarian-development nexus project fits.

Compliance questions for the specific call

  • Check establishment, consortium and co-financing conditions in the call.
  • Verify submission procedure, budget rules and contract conditions.

These are editorial decision points grounded in the sources below. The current notice, allocation documents and applicable agreement determine the requirements.
