OBJECTIVE

Why this workshop? 

All recipients of EU funding have a general obligation to acknowledge the origin and ensure the visibility of any EU funding received. This includes all civil society organisations (CSOs) implementing EU-funded projects. For the EU-funded projects that also include Financial Support to Third Parties (FSTP), the obligation to ensure visibility of funding received extends to the sub-grant beneficiaries of that support (FSTP grant beneficiaries).  

This event was inspired by the Second Annual FSTP Community of Practice (CoP) Meeting organised on 8 – 9 November 2023 in Sarajevo, BiH. More information about previous FSTP CoP events can be found at the TACSO Library and the LinkedIn group.  

When and where the workshop is taking place? 

The upcoming online regional workshop will take place on 28 March 2024 from 10:00 to 15:00 on the Zoom platform and will be implemented in English for a group of 30 participants.  

What are we going to achieve with this workshop? 

The specific objective of the workshop is to strengthen the capacities of the FSTP implementors in the communication and visibility aspects of the EU-funded projects in line with the new approach and requirements of the EU.  

The workshop will be interactive and focused on practical communication skills, in line with the new EU requirements for visibility. 

To ensure the transfer of knowledge towards the final beneficiaries and as a follow-up to this event, the selected participants will be expected to design and implement capacity-building activities for the beneficiaries of the FSTP grants as well.
